If you attempt to copy the CD containing the same music files as the already stored ones in the same file format, an overwrite confirmation screen appears. *4 When music files with the same album information as the selected CD are already stored on the hard disk, a confirmation screen appears as follows: The numeral part of the track name indicates the actual track number. The numeral part of the album name incrementally increases for each CD copy. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER uses tag information for the album name ( Album00001) and the track name ( 01 track) to avoid overlapping with other albums.
When it finds no possible album, select the option. When it finds more than one possible albums on the Gracenote server, it displays multiple possible albums. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER obtains the album information that seems consistent with the CD you want to copy from the Gracenote server, based on the record information of the CD. PCM data read from the CD drive is saved directly in the WAV format or converted and saved in the FLAC format. If a CD is extensively damaged, however, selecting may ensure stable data reading. In this way, PCM data read from a slightly damaged CD is compensated to be nearly bit perfect. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER reads the same unreadable data for multiple times until the read results are found consistent. Reading PCM data from a damaged CD may cause the read data not to be bit perfect because unreadable data is interpolated by the data interpolation function of the CD drive.
The FLAC format is not available for playback in iTunes and requires more CPU power for data expansion than the WAV format. When is selected, you can save various tag information in the standard format. You can convert the PCM data saved in the FLAC format back to the original data stored in the CD for playback. The FLAC format consumes less hard disk capacity for saving music files than the WAV format. PCM data stored on the CD is compressed by lossless compression and saved. As the HDD AUDIO PLAYER saves the music information obtained from the Gracenote server to the ID3 chunk as well as to the LIST chuck in the standard WAV file format when saving tag information of the music files, you can also use album jacket photos saved on any music player that supports the ID3 chunk. The WAV format consumes more hard disk capacity, by making the file size larger, but requires less CPU power for playback than the FLAC format. PCM data stored on the CD is saved without compression.
