Exporting Audio from an Audio CD

You can export an audio track from an audio CD and save it directly to your hard disk as an AIFF file. You might want to do this in any of these situations:

• | You want to make an audio CD that combines different types of files from different sources

• | You want to use the audio file in another application and keep a copy on your hard disk

• | You have only one drive connected to your computer

To export audio tracks to your hard disk:

1 | With the Audio tab displayed, insert the audio CD into a drive.

2 | When the disc icon appears on the desktop, do one of the following:

| • | To export all audio files from the disc, drag the disc icon into the Audio content area.

| • | The entire contents of the disc appear in the Audio content area.

| • | To export selected audio tracks, double-click the disc icon to open it. In the window, select all the files you want to export, and drag them to the Audio content area.

| • | The files you selected appear in the Audio content area.

3 | Click the Export button (or choose Disc > Export Audio).

| The Save As dialog appears, with the name of the first selected file displayed in the Save As field.

4 | In the Save As field, you can optionally enter a new name for the first audio file you are exporting. (Only the first file exported to your hard disk will have a new name.)

5 | From the Where pop-up menu, choose the location on your hard disk where you want to export the files to.
