Kurzanleitung Installation · 11 3 Burning a CD 3.1 Introduction Your can make your own, individual CDs easily with Feurio! This section is aimed at users who want to burn their own CDs without first having to spend much time learning all about the program. It will show you how to compile your own CD and introduce you to the different Feurio! elements. The individual components and their specific elements and functions are described in section 4 and later. When you compile your own CD, first a project is set up, the audio tracks are then copied into the project and finally the CD is burned. The audio tracks to be burned may have different formats (CDA, wav or MP3 files) and originate from different sources (CDs, a hard disk, or a database). Compressed MP3 files can be decompressed when they are copied into the project (this calls for sufficient hard disk memory but it does permit burning at very high speed) or only at the moment they are burned onto the CD (in this case no additional hard disk memory is required, but the burning process can only be performed at a slower speed because the computer has to work to decompress the files). Kurzanleitung Burning a CD · 12 3.2 Launching CD-Manager 1. Select START -> PROGRAMS -> FEURIO! -> Feurio! CD-Manager. The program will start and the main window will appear.

The new tracks will be added at the end of the project. You can also 'drag' the audio tracks into the table of contents of the highlighted project. This procedure has the advantage that you can insert the new tracks anywhere you want In this example, a new track has been inserted between tracks 1 and 2. If you include MP3 files in the project, you can decide whether the files should be accepted in compressed or decompressed form. If the file is to be decompressed, please mark the 'Decompress MP3 files' box. The audio track will be converted to a WAV file. Roughly speaking, one minute's music playing time occupies around 10 MB. When you work with Feurio! it does not matter if you have the files compressed or decompressed. Feurio! automatically decompresses MP3 files when burning a CD. Kurzanleitung Burning a CD · 19
