Creating CDs and DVDs
If your PC has a CD-RW or DVD Writer (select models only), your PC has recording
software and you can make your own music or data CDs.
Your PC has four recording software programs: iTunes, Windows Media Player,
RecordNow!, and Windows XP. You copy or download music to their libraries and
can then organize or copy the music files. You can copy Windows Media files that
have a .wma extension, .mp3 files, or .wav files to a CD by using a CD Writer or
DVD Writer drive. You can also use iTunes or Windows Media Player to copy music
files to a portable device or memory card.
Use a CD-R disc if you are going to play the disc in a CD player, CD-ROM, CD-RW,
DVD-ROM, or DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R, or double-layer DVD+R drive. CD-R discs
are compatible with more players than CD-RW discs.
NOTE:
Burn is an industry term used to describe the recording of information onto a
DVD or CD. Optical recording uses a laser beam to place information onto the disc,
thus the term
burning .
NOTE:
If your recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed (if
available) each time you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in your selected
software program or your troubleshooting documentation for more information
about selecting a slower recording speed.
