RECORdING musIC
Your IntelliControl ® ICS DMS4 Digital Music Server can make
new recordings onto the hard disk by recording music directly
from an audio CD placed in the CD tray.
Your DMS4 Digital Music Server can access the Internet to
automatically retrieve information about the CD. This information
includes the album name, artist name, track names and music
genre from the Gracenote Music Recognition Service and an
album cover illustration from the XiVA on-line service.

Your DMS4 Digital Music Server will now automatically attempt
to retrieve information about the CD from the Gracenote Music
Recognition Service.
If you do not have an Internet connection, or the CD is not listed
in the database, it will be given names such as Album 35,
Artist 21, and Track 1, Track 2 etc. and it will be classified in
genre Unclassified. Accurate album information can be entered

Depending on the configuration of your DMS4 Digital Music
Server, you may now be presented with the Recording Quality
options. By default, the Quick Record set up option is set to
enabled and the recording quality will be determined by the
Default Recording Quality set up option. If you have set the
Quick Record option to disabled, you will be asked to choose
the recording quality each time you record a CD.
Use the U or V keys to choose either Uncompressed
WAV, or one of the MP3 or WMA compression options
Note: The higher quality options use more space on your DMS4
Digital Music Server hard disk, so you will not be able to record
as many CDs. The amount of recording time left is displayed at
the bottom of the screen as you scroll the compression options
when recording a CD.
