Introduction

Make CDs Right on Your Desktop

Using Easy CD Creator

, you can copy files from your computer to

a recordable compact disc (CD). Using a special write-once media,

that is readable on virtually all CD-Recordable (CD-R) and Compact

Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) drives. In addition, the audio

CDs you create with your CD recorder are readable in your home or

car CD player. If you are using a CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) drive, you
