CDDesigner Manual: Reading and Copying a CD

Reading and Copying a CD

  1. Choose .
  2. Select a device to read the CD.

  3. Hit the Read button and insert a CD when the Workspace asks for it.
  4. Now you have a new document which can be written as usual. If your source device can read data with a multiple of the writing speed, you should switch off the cache to copy the CD directly.
  5. Close the document's window to eject the CD.

If the source device is the same as the CD writer you want to use, you will need to switch on the cache. The process of writing will copy the content of the CD to the cache, eject the CD and ask for an empty medium to be inserted. Then the data will be written to the CD-R and the document window will be closed.

Important: Copying CDs may be illegal. Some devices cause a system crash while reading audio tracks with NextStep/OpenStep (e.g. Apple, Sony and compatible). Use this function at your own risk and meet our homepage for an actual compatibility guide.
