Chapter 6:
Making Music CDs
A music CD is a compact disc (CD) containing digital audio tracks
recorded in the Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA) format.
Music CDs can store up to 74 minutes of music and may contain up to 99
tracks, each usually representing a separate piece of music. Music CDs
can be played back from a home or car CD player or from a CD-ROM
drive through speakers or headphones attached to the drive’s output jack.
You can use EasyCDCreator to:
■ Compile audio CDs of your favorite music
■ Make CDs from Wave (.wav) files on your hard drive
Starting EasyCDCreator
1. Start up your computer.
2. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in the CD-Writer Plus. After a few
seconds a screen will appear which asks you to “Please select the type of
CD you wish to create.”
NOTE: If no screen appears after about 15 seconds, you may have inserted a
disc that is already formatted. Remove the disc and insert a blank disc. Or the
“Auto insert notification” option may be disabled (this applies to Windows95
only). To check this, click Start, move the mouse pointer over Settings, and
click Control Panel. In Control Panel, double-click System and select the
Device Manager tab. Double-click the icon for the CD-Writer Plus, then select
the Settings tab. Click Auto insert notification if it does not have a check
mark next to it, and click OK. Click OK on the System Properties dialog box.
Then close the Control Panel.
