CD-DA Recording Tips
Read the following section for useful information when recording
audio CDs.
Using Easy CD Creator Wizard
The easiest way to make an audio CD is with the help of the Easy
CD Creator Wizard. The Wizard appears when you first open Easy
CD Creator and guides you step-by-step in the creation of a simple
data or audio CD.
To make an audio CD with the assistance of the Wizard, see Using
the Wizard to Make a CD on page 2-2.
Using CD Copier
If you want to copy an entire audio CD from start to finish, use the
Easy CD Creator CD Copier feature. See Chapter 9, Making a Copy of
a CD for instructions.
Minutes on a CD
ACD's capacity is measured in minutes. Recordable CDs are avail-
able in 21-, 63-, and 74-minute sizes. See Obtaining Blank CDs on
page 2-5.
Recording Time
Recording times vary based on the read and write speeds of your
CD recorder and whether you are recording tracks from existing
music CDs or Wave files.
Recording from a CD-ROM Drive
If you have a CD-ROM drive that can read (not just play) audio CDs
digitally—meaning that it supports digital audio extraction—you
can use it as your source drive to record songs from an existing CD.
This means that you would not have to swap CDs in and out for
each song you want to record from a single music CD. Not all CD-
ROM drives support digital audio extraction. To determine if your
CD-ROM does, see Testing Your System Configuration on page 11-1.
