Record a CD - Using the front panel controls
The I-Mix has three different modes for recording your audio CDs: Rapid Archive, Play and
Compress or Compress. The Rapid Archive mode enables you to record a CD at six times
normal speed (6X). You cannot listen to a CD being recorded in the Rapid Archive mode. To
enable the rapid transfer of a CD to the hard drive, the file will be compressed later, when the I-
Mix is turned off. It will enter a “sleep” mode to compress all uncompressed music and then turn
off automatically.
The Play and Compress mode lets you listen to the CD while compressing it to the hard
drive in MP3 format at normal play speed. The Compress mode compresses the music to the
hard drive in MP3 format at normal play speed without playing it. To learn more about these
recording modes and the “sleep”/compression mode, see the Advanced Features section of the
manual on pages 35 – 39.
A generic name, such as !Album 0001 will be assigned to each recorded album. To provide
song/album/artist title information for your albums, see the Intelligent CD Recognition section on
page 40.
