Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store datafiles. After creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again without changing your method ofrecording (see the Sonic documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs to write toCDs or to erase, rewrite, or update data on CDs.Your DVD writable drive can write to four different types of recording media—CD-Rs, CD-RWs(including High-Speed CD-RWs), DVD+Rs, and DVD+RWs. Blank DVD+Rs can be used topermanently store large amounts of information. After creating a DVD+R disc, you may not beable to write to that disc again, depending on whether or not the disc is "finalized" or "closed" (thefinal stage of the disc creation process). Use blank DVD+RWs when you will need to erase, rewrite,or update the information on that disc later.Helpful Tips• Use Microsoft ® Windows® Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only afteryou start Sonic RecordNow and open a RecordNow project.• You must use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos.CD-RWs do not play in most home or car stereos.• You cannot create audio DVDs with Sonic RecordNow.• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 softwareinstalled.• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a650-MB file to a 650-MB blank CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the blank CD tofinalize the recording.• Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recordingtechniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. Youcan also use blank CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the projectpermanently to a blank CD-R.• See the Sonic support website at support.sonic.com for additional information.
