v RecordNow
RecordNow is disc mastering software that allows you to create your own music
or data discs from files on your computer, or from other disc media such as CDs
or DVDs. Music discs created with RecordNow will play on any CD player,
whether it’s at home, in your car, or through your computer’s CD-ROM.
RecordNow also makes it easy to create data discs that can be read on any
appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.
Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the documentation
that accompanied your drive for information on supported media.
RecordNow guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process with simple
Wizards and an intuitive user interface.
Using RecordNow you can create:
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate of
your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to your
CD-R or CD-RW media.
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive - The Make a Data Disc feature
is used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside
on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs are used to
store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be played on
your home or car stereo-even if audio files are on the disc.
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing music
discs - The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs from files
on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music database
feature can automatically tag your files with track information to help you
sort through your collection.
Note: Please reference the RecordNow On-line Help, for more information on
how to Make an Exact copy, Create a Data Disc, or to Create an Audio
disc with RecordNow. Please also see “Using the RecordNow software”
