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.

On the AW1600, you can select one or more songs on the 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 the CD-RW drive or a conventional CD player in the 
same way as any 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 volume of CD-R/RW media, and each track must be 
at least four seconds long. The maximum length of time 
that can be written is approximately 74 minutes for 
650 MB media, or approximately 80 minutes for 700 MB 
media.

The CD-RW drive of the AW1600 can use two types of media: “CD-R” which lets you record and 
add data, and “CD-RW” which lets you erase previously-recorded data and rewrite it. Each type 
of media has the following characteristics.

● CD-R

You can write data to this media, and add additional data 
later. You cannot erase and rewrite data that has already 
been written. Once you perform a process known as 
“finalizing the disc,” the audio data written to the CD-R 
can be played by the CD-RW drive or by most CD players.

● CD-RW

In addition to writing and adding data, this media lets you 
erase all recorded data and rewrite it. Audio data written to 
a CD-RW can be played back by the CD-RW or by CD 
players that support CD-RW media.
