This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM. How to get MP3 music Either download legal MP3 music from the internet or convert your audio CD into MP3 format with any MP3 encoder software, and then record onto a CD-R(W). · To achieve a good sound quality a bit rate of at least 128kbps is recommended for MP3 files. · Some encoder software offer an option to protect music files, i. e. the files can only be played on the computer which created them.

In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or international copyrights.
