A : "Recording from CDs" is the process by which a CD track is converted into the
much smaller MP3 format, and is then added to the Wireless Music Center's music
library (hard disk). On the Wireless Music Center, "Recording from CDs" requires
two steps: first, it reads the CD content and store it temporarily on the hard disk;
Then, it converts this temporary CD content into MP3 format - a process called
"background-encoding". It takes 1 hour to convert 1 hour of CD music. During this
stage you cannot stream or broadcast music on the Center, though you can still
stream music from the Stations. Always switch the set to ECO POWER
(power-saving mode) before removing its power plug.
