Tips & Warnings

• If the information you would like to include is in various playlists, you may want to create one playlist containing the information.
• MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, Audible and any other audio files will be copied to the CD.
• Data CDs may not play with the same quality in some CD players but should in your computer's CD player.
• If you are attempting to copy more than your disc holds, you will be prompted to insert a new disc at the correct time.
