How do I copy MP3 files on to a CD?
You need to record MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc to play in the
iMP-700 Series.
In general, there are two kinds of blank CDs.
CD-R (CD Recordable): Recordable but not erasable.
CD-RW (CD-ReWriteable) : Recordable and can be used again after
erasing.
There are several ways to burn a CD. A CD is created in sessions.
Single session: Close session after burning once.
Multi session: Do not close session after burning. More data can be

This iRiver player can play packet-written CD RW’s as well.
What do I need to burn MP3 files?
You need a CD recorder, recording software program, and a blank CD.
For details, refer to the “SUPPORT” at iRiver's homepage.
How do I make a CD from a tape or record?
To convert the tape's information into CD requires many items, including:
A player to play the tape or record, a stereo cable to attach the player to
your computer, and third party recording software to capture and edit the
audio. Connect the stereo cable from the source to the line-in input on
your computer sound card; then use the third party software to record and
edit the audio on the tape or record.
Once the music is recorded onto your computer, use a program to copy

I recorded an MP3 CD but it only see less than 20 songs.
The CD was probably created as an Audio CD’s will only hold about 15~20
songs. To record a CD full of MP3’s be sure to set your CD creation
software to record Data.
The player can’t read songs and I get 'No disc' message.
CD readability depends on several factors:
1. CD-Media
2. The Burning/Recording Speed
3. The CD surface
When you create a CD, burning speed does matter as well as CD surface.
When you create a CD at a high speed, the data writing may not be
reliable. In that case, it is recommended to create a CD at a lower speed or
to use brand name media.
Can I add songs to the CD I already burned?
Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD.
