9.5 Backing Up a Music CD Format Disc
The Plextalk enables you to back up music CD with PC cards. You can back up all
tracks at once, or only a selected track.
9.5.1
What you need for backing up
PC card:
If you are using the Plextalk to backing up from one CD to another, you need to use
an optional PC card.
Capacity:
When you back up from a CD to a PC card, then copy from that memory to a CD-R
or CD-RW disc, you need a PC card that has a larger capacity than the source
audio. This is because any editing information adds to the source audio. The
Plextalk gives a verbal warning if not enough space is available.
Maximum backup capacity is 80 min. of digital audio in one CD.
9.5.2
General music CD backup procedures
You have a variety of possibilities for backing up music CDs with the Plextalk. In
general, you can back up from a music CD to a PC card, then back up from a PC
card to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
General procedure for backing up from one disc to another:
Backup source
Backup
destination
Recording format
PCM 44.1kHz Stereo
MP3 256kbps Stereo
Music CD
PC card
(*1) DAISY
MP3 128kbps Stereo
(*2) Music CD format
PC card
(PCM 44.1 kHz Stereo
or MP3 256kbps Stereo
or MP3 128kbps Stereo)
Music CD
DAISY
(*1)
When backing up from a Music CD to a PC card, you can select the recording
format from “PCM Stereo” or “MP3 256kbps” or “MP3 128kbps”. If you select “PCM
Stereo”, you'll get the same quality as Music CD, but need large capacity of the PC
card. (E.g. 650MB) If you select “MP3 128kbps”, you'll get the approximate
equivalent sound quality as Music CD, and only need tenth part of the PCM Stereo
data. (E.g. 65MB)
(*2)
When backing up from a PC card to a Music CD and the copyright information of
the backup source is “copy”, the source data in the PC card will be deleted after
backing up.
