How do I Make CDs That Can be Read
on Other Computers?
Use the Easy CD Creator (Data) software and CD-R discs when you want
to create CDs you can share with other users, for example if you want to
send the CD to your co-workers.
Virtually all CD-ROM drives and operating systems (Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and DOS) can read CD-R discs
made with Easy CD Creator (Data).
To start the Easy CD Creator (Data) software insert a blank CD-R disc in
the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that
reads: Make a data CD that is the most compatible with other
CD-ROM drives.
When is the DirectCD Software Useful?
With DirectCD you can simply drag and drop files onto the CD-Writer
Plus icon to make CDs. Use DirectCD when you want to create data CDs
(not audio) to use on your own computer.
When you save to a disc within a software application or Windows
Explorer, Direct CD copies the file directly to the disc.
DirectCD allows you to organize CD-R discs when you eject them so they
can be read by most CD-ROM drives under Windows 95, Windows 98,
and Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later.
To prepare a disc for use with DirectCD software insert a blank disc in the
CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads:
Make a data CD the easiest way.
How do I Make Audio CDs?
Use Easy CD Creator (Audio) and CD-R discs to create audio CDs.
To start the Easy CD Creator (Audio) software insert a blank CD-R disc in
the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that
reads: Make a music CD.
