You don't actually HAVE to have one of these to use the software. However, you'll get very little use out of the program if you can't burn CDs (that is what it's made for, after all). There are users who run DartPro 32 simply for the restoration filters (DeClick and DeHiss) and for the ability to convert MP3 files to WAV files or MID files to WAV files.

A CD-R (CD Recordable) or CD-RW (CD ReWritable) isn't required for utilizing the DART Karaoke Studio, but you will be missing out on SOME exciting features.

This process has been greatly enhanced by the addition of the included CD-Recorder 4 Basic version (A $50 dollar value FREE) to guide you in this process.

This is an optical drive that will write both DVDs (Digital Versatile Disk, Data or Video) and CDs.

No. Your computer's CD-R/RW drive or "burner" can only make CD-R and CD-RW discs. They cannot possibly create any of the recordable DVD discs. To create recordable DVD discs, you will need a dedicated DVD drive for the appropriate recordable DVD format (e.g., DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or DVD-RAM).

CD-R stands for Compact Disc-Recordable and can be recorded only once. You may continue to add files until the CD is full as long as the disc is not closed (write-protected). You cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or alter the files or file structure on the CD after recording. CD-RW stands for Compact Disc-Rewritable. It allows you to record the disc and then erase the entire disc and start over. You cannot select certain files to delete; you must erase the entire disc.

To backup to a CD-RW, you must have packet writing software (DirectCD, InCD, etc.) installed. You will need to format your CD with this software. This will provide a drive letter for you to use as the destination for the backup job. EZBack-it-up has no built-in support for CD-R's. However, you can still use it to create an archive that you can then use with your CD burning software.

CD-R means "Compact Disc Recordable." It's a "write-once" media, which means the data (music) can't be overwritten, erased or reused (rerecorded). A completed or "finalized" CD-R can be played in virtually any standard CD player. CD-RW or "Compact Disc Rewritable," can be erased and rewritten (recorded) many times. The only drawback is a CD-RW won't playback in all CD players...the players must be CD-RW compatible.

For CD-R disc: Verbatim, 700 MB, 1x-32x speed. (Please note that CD-R disc will record at maximum 8x speed only.)

Yes, with care. A basic R installation is relocatable, so you can burn an image of the R installation on your hard disc or install directly onto a removable storage device such as a flash-memory USB drive. (If you have installed packages into a private library, their absolute paths will appear in the HTML packages list.) Running R does need access to a writable temporary directory and to a home directory, and in the last resort these are taken to be the current directory.

You cannot record on DVD-RAM using a CD-R/CD-RW recorder; you need a dedicated DVD-RAM recorder and authoring application.

Please do not install any versatile CD-R/RW drive other than CD-01/02. Mechanically, it is possible to attach versatile one, however behavior is not proved because firmware for each versatile are not standardized. Possibility of writing error must be very high, so please be sure to purchase and install optional CD-01/02 from our distributors or dealers.

If you have a blank recordable CD (CD-R) or a re-writable CD (CD-RW), you do not need to format your CD. You can use it immediately. For the re-writable CD (CD-RW), you can erase your existing files by clicking on the "Erase this CD-RW" link from the CD Writing Tasks from My Computer. However, this feature will erase all your files in the CD, you cannot select file to erase.

CD-R is a short form of "CD-Recordable", meaning recordable CD. In the past, users could only read the data on a CD-ROM. If users wanted to record data onto a CD, they had to ask assistance from a factory and do so in large quantities. With CD-R however, individuals can save data on a CD and produce a format that is exactly the same as that of a standard CD-ROM.
