SONIC RECORDNOW! INSTRUCTIONS
A CD is now the preferred long-term storage medium for data. To ensure longer life, keep it in a CD
case and protect from high heat and humidity. These instructions will work for CD-R and CD-RW.
TYPES OF CD MEDIA
•
CD-R = CD Recordable: a CD onto which files can be copied once but cannot be erased.
•
CD-RW = CD Re-Writable: a CD onto which files can be copied and erased.
NOTE: When
using a CD-RW, you will have to re-burn ALL the files on the disk each time in order to add
newer data without erasing all of your older files.

1. Insert a blank CD into the CD drive.

BURN A MUSIC CD

add them to the “Music to Burn” list by highlighting the files and
clicking the “Add” button

Use a Sharpie or similar type marker MADE FOR CDs to write your name, date, and the name of the
CD on the label (top) side of the CD; do not use regular markers as ink may bleed through.
