Using the Easy CD Creator Wizard to Make a CD

NOTE: If you have already written to a disc using Direct CD, you will need to erase the disc before you can use Easy CD Creator to write to that disc.

The easiest way to make a CD is to use the Easy CD Creator Wizard. The Wizard guides you step-by-step to make a simple audio or data CD. If you are new to CD-R technology, the Wizard is an excellent way to become familiar with the CD recording process and make an audio or data CD.

To use the Wizard, follow these steps:

1. Select the type of CD you want to make: Data CD or Audio CD.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Wizard windows.

To see a list of the files, folders, or audio tracks you have selected for copying to the CD you are creating,, move the Wizard screen to view the main Easy CD Creator window.

If you need help, click Help to open the Online Help.

If you want to make a CD without using the Wizard, click Cancel in the Easy CD Creator Wizard Welcome window and follow the instructions in the following sections for the type of CD you want to make.
