RECORDING MUSIC
Your Music Server can make new recordings onto the hard
disk either by recording music directly from an audio CD
placed in the CD tray or by recording from another piece of
equipment (such as a vinyl record player) using the line-in
connectors on the back of the unit.
If you are recording directly from the CD tray your Music
Server can access the internet, using either a broadband
connection (via the Ethernet port) or using the built-in
modem, to automatically retrieve information about the CD
including the album name, artist name, track names and
music genre from the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition
Service.
If you do not provide an Internet connection you can label the
CDs you record manually.
