Troubleshooting

If you get errors while copying CDs, your CD-Rom drive may not be capable of digital audio copying. Go to Tools | Options | Device Settings and click on Advanced Ripping Settings. Change the copy mode to "Digital Unbuffered" or "Digital Error Correcting" and see if that helps.

If you still get errors, put the CD in the drive, change the copy mode to Analog and select Settings. Then click on “Start Test” to set the automatic analog copy volume.

If your recorded tracks have clicks or pops in them, either your CD-Rom drive is not capable of clean audio copying or it's possible that your computer was too busy with other tasks while the recording was taking place. Since CD recording is a very demanding task, make sure you stop most other programs while you are recording. This includes graphics intensive screen savers, auto-answer modems, virus checkers and disk maintenance programs.

CD copying uses large amounts of disk space so make sure you have an adequate supply before copying.
