Using Multimedia 61
Helpful Tips
• Use Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or
CD-RW only after you start
Roxio Creator
and open a Creator project.
• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example,
do not copy a 650-MB file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs
1–2 MB of the blank space to finalize the recording.
• 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.
• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that
have MP3 software installed.
• Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD
recording techniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the
CD-RW and try again. You can also use blank CD-RWs to test music file
projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R.
• You cannot create audio DVDs with
Roxio Creator
.
