You can record any
combination of tracks, WAV, or
MP3 files to an Audio CD.
If information about the music
CD is located on your hard
disk, the CD title, artist name,
and the name of each track are
displayed. If this information
does not appear and you have
access to the Internet, click the
CDDB
™
Internet button on the
toolbar to download the
information from the online
CDDB
Music Service.
To test the drive performance,
Compaq recommends using the
Emulate Only option (located
in the Options window) when
recording a new CD-R or using
your Notebook for the first
time. This allows you to
perform a test run before
actually recording.
When you have finalized a
CD-R disc, no additional
tracks can be added to the disc.

ROM drive containing the music CD; a list of the tracks on

MP3 files, select the folder where your files are located.
6. In the right pane of the Explorer section, select the track,
WAV, or MP3 file you want to record, then click Add on
the toolbar. Repeat until the Audio CD Layout contains all
of the tracks and files that you want to record.
7. Click Create CD. The CD Creation Process dialog
box opens.
8. When prompted, remove your Audio CD, insert a blank
CD into your CD-Recorder, and click OK to start
recording.
9. When the CD Creation Process is complete, click OK.
Note: If you have tracks on other music CDs that you want to record,
repeat steps 3-5 for each music CD from which you want to record.
During the actual recording process, Easy CD Creator prompts you to
reinsert the appropriate music CD for the track being recorded.
Creating Data CDs
A Data CD is ideal for backing up important files such as
personal documents and files on your hard disk. The Data CD
is designed for data storage only and cannot be played on your
home stereo like an Audio CD.
To create a Data CD, complete the following steps:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs,
Adaptec Easy Creator 4, and then click Create CD.
2. On the Welcome screen, click Data. The Data screen
opens.
