Selecting a Drive
The Select Source Drive drop-down box displays all Plextor drives in your system
and allows you to select the drive from which to extract audio tracks.
To select a drive:
1. Start Audio Capture 2000.
2. In the main Audio Capture 2000 window, click the Select Source Drive drop-
down list box and select a drive.
Capturing Audio Tracks to Digital Audio Files
To capture audio tracks from an audio CD to your hard drive:
1. Start Audio Capture 2000.
2. Click the Select Source Drive drop-down list box and select a source drive from
which to capture audio.
3. Insert an audio CD into the drive. In the Track Selection Window you see
information about the tracks on the CD. (If CDDB is enabled, you see even more
information, such as song names instead of track numbers.) The Length column
shows how long the track plays (in minutes and seconds) and also the file size
necessary to save that track as a WAV or WMA file to your hard disk.
4. Click the Set Output Quality Level drop-down list box and select the level of
quality for the audio file. Level of audio quality determines the file size. Default
quality is always 44-kHz, 16-bit, stereo sound, but you can change this to reduce
file size, if desired.
5. If using a Plextor drive as a source, you can click and drag the Set Level of Error
Correction bar to set error correction. (By default, error correction is set to 100
percent, ensuring the highest-quality results.)
