Copying an audio CD.

SonicStage is for creating copies of the material where copyright belongs to the user or where copying is agreed by the copyright holder.

Please note the point below when writing audio data to a CD-R/RW medium:
- Do not carry out Fast User Switching during the data writing sequence of the CD-R/RW in Windows® XP. This may cause writing to fail.
- Do not start any software during the data writing sequence of the CD-R/RW (including the memory-resident programs such as a screen saver).
- Do not press any key on the keyboard during the writing of data to the CD-R/RW.
- Do not use a CD-R/RW medium with a label on it (This may cause errors in writing).
- 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 Central Processing Unit or the hard disk.
- If the total play time of an audio CD exceeds the recordable time length of CD-R/RW (74 or 80 minutes), the audio CD cannot be backed up.

Before starting the backup of the audio CD, check the total play time of the audio CD and the recordable time length of the CD-R/RW.
