computer’s CD-ROM. IBM RecordNow also makes it easy to create data
discs that can be read on any appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.
Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the
documentation that accompanied your drive for information on
supported media.
IBM RecordNow guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process
with simple Wizards and an intuitive user-interface.
Using IBM RecordNow you can create:
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate
of your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to
your CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive – The Make a Data Disc
feature is used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications
that reside on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs
are used to store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be
played on your home or car stereo—even if audio files are on the disc.
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing
music discs – The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs
from files on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music
database feature can automatically tag your files with track information to
help you sort through your collection.
Note: Please reference the IBM RecordNow On-line Help, for more
information on how to Make an Exact copy, Create a Data Disc, or to
