Hi Liam & Wire

No U2 content here, but this question seems to come up all the time, so
I thought I would post an answer to the list.

You need to turn on Disc-At-Once mode in CD Creator Deluxe. After you
press the record button (red circle), a dialog will pop up with several
tabs. One of these pages has the recording mode on it: Track At Once,
Multisession, Disc At Once etc. Always use DAO for audio CD's!

Unfortunately there are some burners that won't do DAO, but with any
luck you won't have that problem.

For some really good information on CDR's, visit the CDR FAQ:
http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq

Now, a note about burning MP3's to CD. It can be done, by decoding the
MP3's to WAV files and then burning those to audio tracks. For your own
use, I don't see anything wrong with doing this... but if you sell CD's
made from MP3's then I will find out and I will personally come over and
wring your neck. :)

MP3 is fairly good sound quality, but even at 256kbit/s you can still
hear differences. The last thing the U2 community needs is more poorly
copied bootlegs.

Hope this helps.

Graham
