About recording music
RecordNow records music CDs that are called
closed session CDs. This means that you must
record all music files in one recording session.
When a recording is complete, no more
information can be added to that disc and the
CD is closed. Music files can be recorded
repeatedly on a rewriteable CD or DVD disc, but
all previously recorded files will be erased.
Important: You can record audio files (MP3 and WAV
files) to a DVD as data files, but you cannot create
a DVD audio disc to be played in a car or home
CD player.
For best compatibility with CD-ROM drives and
CD players, use CD-R discs to record music.
Recording data files
You can use either RecordNow or MyDVD
to record data files to CDs or DVDs. Use
RecordNow to create a copy of your personal
data files and to create music CDs that you can
play in most home and car stereos. Use MyDVD
to record video files to create VCDs and DVDs
that can be played in most DVD-ROM drives and
in some DVD players.
When creating a data disc, it is important to note
that:
You can add new data files to a CD-R disc in a
later recording session if disc space is
available.
You can update previously recorded files that
have the same name to your CD-R, CD-RW, or
DVD+RW disc.
You can record data files to a DVD+R disc
only once.
