Once RecordNow is started, select on of the following three processes:

CDs you have previously created. After you select this option, RecordNow will
prompt you to insert your disc to be copied, and then will prompt you when to
insert a blank disc.
v Make a Music Disc: Select this option to create an audio CD. The second screen
will ask if you want to make an audio CD from MP3 and Wave files on your
hard disk, or from other audio CDs. There is also a selection to make a disc for
an MP3 player, which is a specially formatted data disc that can be played in
stand-alone MP3 players.
v Make a Data Disc: Select this option to create a disc containing data files from
your hard disc. If you want to add files to an appendable disc, insert it in the
drive before selecting Make a Data Disc. You can add files and folders to the
Data Disc window by Drag and Drop or by browsing your hard disk. When you
are satisfied with your data CD files, press the Burn button. You will be
prompted to insert a disc if needed, and asked whether you want to erase
CD-RW media if one is inserted.
v Once RecordNow is started, you can also perform special operations:
– Clicking on the Favorites button will allow you to load a previously saved
audio, data, MP3, or CD image to burn a new copy.
– Dropping an ISO or GI CD image into the files box for a data CD will record
the image file directly onto the CD.
– To make an ISO image of a CD with RecordNow, select Copy a CD and set
the destination recorder to record file to hard disk.
