CD Copier Tips
The following sections provide useful information related to
making backup copies of CDs using CD Copier.
Source CD-ROM Drives for CD-to-CD Copying
To copy directly from a source CD to a blank CD in your
CD-RW drive, you must have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
to use as your source. This is called write on-the-fly. See the
drive’s guide for information.
When you insert a CD into your source drive and select the
drive in the
Source and Destination tab, Easy CD Creator
automatically tests both the drive and the CD. The tests
determine whether the selected drives can read and record
successfully. If not, an error message is displayed.
Using the CD-RW Drive for CD-to-CD Copying
If you are using only your CD-RW drive to copy a CD and you
have enough space on your hard drive, you can use the CD-RW
disk as both the source and destination drive.
When you make a disc copy, CD Copier copies the CD as a
temporary image file onto your hard drive, then records it to a
blank CD.
Copying Audio and Mixed-Mode
Although most CD-ROM drives can play back music from an
audio CD, not all are capable of reading and copying audio tracks
in digital format. If you are not sure whether your drive supports
digital audio extraction, see “Testing Your System
Configuration.”
Making Multiple Copies
You can make multiple copies of a CD more quickly with CD
Copier’s disc copy option if:
➜
Space is a available on your hard drive.
➜
Your source CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is slow.
➜
Your CD-RW drive serves as both your source and
destination drive.
