Save CD Tracks to the Library

You can easily save CD tracks to your Library. Then you can create and share playlists, burn custom CDs, view and edit clip info, and more. Once you have saved tracks to your Library, they are called clips.

Save CD Tracks to the Library

1. With RealPlayer running, insert a CD into your CD drive.
2. RealPlayer checks the CD tracks against the clips in the Library. If the CD tracks have not yet been saved to the Library, RealPlayer prompts you by asking if you would like to save them to your Library now:

• Click Yes to import and save the tracks now.
• Click No to save none of the tracks and close the dialog. Your tracks are still listed and playable in the CD/DVD display page.
• Click Options... to open the "Save Tracks" dialog. The "Save Tracks" dialog lets you select individual tracks from the CD, change the computer location where the tracks are saved, and access your CD Preferences settings.
2. The Status column on the CD page will indicate Saved for each track successfully imported.

Good to Know

• RealPlayer automatically prompts you to save CD tracks each time you play a new CD. To change this setting, open CD Preferences, then deselect the Prompt to Save CD option.
• You can browse other RealPlayer pages and use other features while the CD is being saved.
• Once all tracks are saved, RealPlayer will play a sound. To choose the sound, or disable this setting, open CD Preferences, then click Additional CD Options.
• If you have previously imported one or more tracks from a CD, RealPlayer will remember this information. If, at a later time, you start to add tracks to your Library from the same CD, RealPlayer will indicate which tracks have previously been saved. You will have the option to make an additional copy of the files you made earlier, or to leave them alone.
