How to save audio files that are registered to the playlist into a CD-R/RW?

Saving audio files that are registered to the playlist into a CD-R/RW.

Firstly, please take note of the following points when writing files to a CD-R/RW. These information are also available in the Help section.

- Only audio files in the WAV, MP3 or OpenMG format, and WMT-ready files without copyright information are allowed to be written to a CD-R/RW.
- Songs such as WMT-ready ones with copyright information or songs captured through the EMD service, cannot be written to a CD-R/RW.
- For Windows® XP users, do not carry out Fast User Switching when writing data to CD-R/RW. The writing process may fail.
- Do not start any software when writing data to the CD-R/RW (including memory-resident programs such as screen saver).
- Do not press any key on the keyboard when writing data to the CD-R/RW.
- Do not use a CD-R/RW that has a label on it as this may cause errors in the writing process.
- Do not connect the CD-RW or CD-R drive to the IDE connector to which the hard disk is connected.
- Do not carry out any operation that may apply load to the Central Processing Unit or the hard disk.
- Songs cannot be added to the audio CD once it is created.

It is advisable to gather all the songs that are to be written to CD-R/RW in a folder (such as My Favorite Playlist) in advance. For more information on how to add songs to My Favorite Playlist, please refer to Add Songs to [Favorite Playlist] in the Help section.
