18. Creating a Music CD.
In Chapter 16, you learned how to set up your PLEXTALK for recording,
how to set the recording levels and how to make a basic recording. This
chapter gives you all the additional information that you need to create a
Music CD including recording and finalising the CD for use in other
devices. If you have not already read Chapter 16, it is recommended that
you do to ensure that you understand the basics of recording that apply
to all formats.
In order that you can try out the features in this chapter, you might wish to
insert a blank Music CD into PLEXTALK.
CAUTION: PLEXTALK is only compatible with round CDs. Irregularly
shaped CDs, such as the business card type, will cause a malfunction and
should not be used.
CAUTION: As the CD rotates at a high speed, do not stick any thick items,
like Braille labels, onto the surface of the disc.
18.1. General information about Music CDs.
With your PLEXTALK, you can record on CD-R or CD-RW discs which come
in 650MB and 700MB capacities (referred to as "Type 74" and "Type 80"
discs, respectively), and are classified for use in recording data or music.
Data discs can be used for recording in DAISY format, but music discs are
required for recording in Music CD format to ensure compatibility with
regular CD players. In fact, music discs are required for recording in Music
CD format, regardless of whether the recording source is a commercial
Music CD or your own musical performance or recitation. CDs for
recording music include a code that distinguishes them for this purpose,
and their higher prices are due to an added fee for music copyright
protection and an ID code. It should also be kept in mind that while all CD
players support the CD-R format, only some players can play CD-RW discs.
Before recording, you should refer to Section 2.3 "Restrictions on copying
or recording with PLEXTALK".
