Creating an audio CD
This chapter explains how you can use the CD-RW drive to create an audio
CD, and how to play back an audio CD.
You can select one or more songs on the AW2400 hard disk, and write the audio data from the
stereo track of each song to a CD-R/RW disc in CD-DA format. The CD-R/RW media to which
you write this data can be played by a CD-RW drive or a conventional CD player in the same way
as a standard audio CD.
In order to create a CD, you must first register one or more
songs in a “track list,” and then write the virtual track cur-
rently selected for the stereo track of each song (the “cur-
rent track”) to the CD in the order specified by the track
list.
A maximum of 99 tracks (areas on CD media to which
audio data can be written individually) can be written to
one CD-R/RW disc, and each track must be at least four
seconds long. The maximum length of audio that can be
written to a single disc is approximately 74 minutes for
650 MB discs, or approximately 80 minutes for 700 MB
discs.
The AW2400 CD-RW drive can use two types of media: “CD-R” which lets you record and
append data, and “CD-RW” which can be erased and rewritten as required. These types of
media have the following characteristics.
● CD-R
You can write data to a new CD-R disc, and append addi-
tional data later on. You cannot erase data that has already
been written and rewrite the disc. Once you perform a pro-
cess known as “finalizing the disc,” the audio data written
to the CD-R can be played by a CD-RW drive or by most
CD players.
● CD-RW
In addition to writing and appending data, this type of
media lets you erase all recorded data and write new data
to the disc. Audio data written to a CD-RW can be played
back by a CD-RW drive or by CD players that support
CD-RW media.
Creating an audio CD
• Some CD players do not support CD-R/RW media, and may not be able to play back CDs created by the
AW2400.
NOTE
• The total size of audio data that can be written to a single disc is
746 MB (approximately 74 minutes) for 650 MB discs, or 807 MB
(approximately 80 minutes) for 700 MB discs.
