Advanced CD Burning Options:

Choose whether to eject your disc upon burn completion, run a test burn, and normalize track audio levels.

Eject disc...

(Default: Off) Select to eject the CD from your CD-ROM drive at the end of the burning process.

Test CD burning...

(Default: Off) Select to test your CD burning process before actually burning tracks to the CD.

Warning: be sure to deselect this option before actually trying to burn a CD.

Normalize track audio levels

(Default:Off) Select to make the sound level equal across all tracks you are burning to the CD.

How do I choose my burning speed?

Rhapsody will automatically recommend a burning (write) speed based on the type of CD burner you have and the type of media (CD-R or CD-RW) you are using. We strongly recommend using the burn speed Rhapsody selects for you to ensure that your CD burns successfully and to ensure the highest sound quality.

If you are using any of the following, Rhapsody may recommend a burn speed slower than the maximum write speed of your CD burner:

An older CD burner
A CD burner not using burn proof technology
CD-RW media (CD-R is recommended)
