Synopsis

With a CD-R drive and software you can create your own audio CDs -- and this little book shows you how! Until recently, CD-R drives were prohibitively expensive, but prices have dropped. The Little Audio CD Book covers the gamut of CD-R and audio restoration software packages, CD-R and CD-R/RW drives, audio file formats, and audio sources. It's not only the perfect guide to choosing the software and hardware needed to create audio CDs, it shows how to make them -- from copying favorite songs from existing CDs, to digitizing and recording music from tapes and records, to downloading music from the Internet and preparing it and recording it to CD. The Little Audio CD Book shows you how to create high-fidelity compilation discs from a wide variety of sources, including MP3 files downloaded from the Internet. Along the way, you'll also learn how to transfer analog material, including tattered records and worn tapes, which can be digitally restored and "burned" to CD-R, preserving old favorites at greatly increased quality.
