Steps to Creating a Compilation disk using Easy CD Creator 5 Basic

1. Launch the Music CD Project within the Project Selector.
2. Wait for the program to initialize, and now you should have an Untitled Music CD Project layout.

4. Once you have your audio files listed. Right Click on the Track you want to record and select “Convert to Audio file”. A dialog box should come up and ask you where you would like to save the file. Select a folder that you’ll remember.

6. Now you should have all your tracks listed. Now drag and drop all your audio files to the bottom of the layout. You can also highlight the file and click Add.

7. Insert a blank CDR disk and click on “Record”.

10. Now the recording process should start, and when its finished your CD will be ready to play in all CD players.

Steps to using DirectCD

1. Launch the DirectCD for the Project Selector.
2. Now a DirectCD Format Utility will come up.
3. Insert your CDR/CDRW disk into your CDRW drive.
4. Click on Format CD.
5. Now just wait till the format process is finished. After its finished it will let you know that the disk is Ready for Read Write Access.
6. At this point go into Windows Explorer or My Computer.
7. Now you can drag and drop all the files you want to copy directly to the CDRW drive. You can also use Cut, Copy, and Paste.
8. Once you have all the files that you want on the disk, you can now eject the disk. Once you click on the eject button on the CDRW drive you should get a “Close Options" dialog box.
9. Within the Close Dialog box you should have an option to “Close to Read on Any Computer". This does exactly what it says. The other option you will have is to close to UDF v1.5. This will allow you to come back at a later time to add more files to the disk. But this disk can only be read by the CDRW drive that it has been created on. That is until you close the disk to read on any computer.
10. These are the basic steps to creating a DirectCD disk. Also within the DirectCD Format Utility you will also have the options to erase a CDRW disk, Scandisk to fix any errors on your disk, and Undelete.
