You can record any
combination of tracks, WAV, or
MP3 files to an Audio CD.
If information about the music
CD is located on your hard
disk, the CD title, artist name,
and the name of each track are
displayed. If this information
does not appear and you have
access to the Internet, click the
CDDB
™
Internet button on the
toolbar to download the

To test the drive performance,
Compaq recommends using the
Emulate Only option (located
in the Options window) when
recording a new CD-R or using
your Notebook for the first
time. This allows you to
perform a test run before
actually recording.
When you have finalized a
CD-R disc, no additional
tracks can be added to the disc.
