3.3.2 The Packet Writing procedure

can be used to create CDs without starting a special mastering program. The
Packet Writing procedure allows to use blank CDs in combination with the
Universal Disc Format (UDF) as an additional hard disk or floppy disk. Standard
software for packet writing e.g. "Direct CD" (Roxio), "InCD" (Nero Burning
ROM). Afterwards the writing procedure can be started.
Files can be written directly from any Windows application (e.g. Microsoft Word)
to the CD using the same procedure as writing to the hard disk. Files can also be
copied to CD using the Windows Explorer.

Note: We recommend using the software which has been provided with
your drive. If you wish to use other software, please find out from the
supplier whether his products support the Freecom CD-RW Recorder.

Afterwards, you can start the writing procedure by simply dragging the file to
be written in the Explorer/File Manager (Drag&Drop Principle), assuming there
is a UDF-formatted blank disk in your CD-RW drive.

A medium can only be written once with the CD-R drive and previously written
files can be deleted but not overwritten. The great advantage of the CD-RW
drive in conjunction with a CD-RW medium is that it allows you to rewrite the
medium.

Note: Please note that the mastering procedure and the packet writing
procedure can only be used seperately, therefore a mixing of these
procedures on one CD-RW is not possible.

3.4 Peculiarities when writing audio CDs

Please note that some older CD player models principally cannot read self-
written CDs.
The drive must be set to 

‘Single Session’ and ‘Fixing’, if possible, also ‘Track-at-

Once’.
If you do not have enough hard disk space, you can try to write single tracks one
at a time.

Note: Audio files must have the proper format (stereo, 16 bit and
44.1 Hz sampling frequency) and must be supported by the writing
software, for example, *.wav. Some programs offer conversion func-
tions. Soundcards and the software that come with them can also be
used. Please note that *.wav files cannot or have supported formats
such as: mono, 8 bit.
