• What is the difference between Test & Write and Write options in the Properties window?
  When you set Recording Mode default to Test & Write, this will test the before recording to CD. Because of the testing, this method takes longer to record the CD, but it will automatically find the optimal writing speed for your system and assure a quality recording.
  If you set Recording Mode default to Write, you can record to CD directly without testing.  Without the Test Write operation, total recording time is reduced but it may cause Data Underrun.

  HyCD Player currently supports a set of CD readers and recorders.  As we develop new versions of our product, we will support more.  However, you can still use HyCD Copy and Paste to extract the audio and play it back on your computer.

  If there is a popping noise when extracting the audio files, then reduce the read speed of that drive. To do this, go to the Properties of the reader and reduce the Read Speed.
