Format to encode in
WAV:
PCM data stored on the CD is saved without compression. 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. 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.
FLAC:
PCM data stored on the CD is compressed by lossless compression and saved. The FLAC
format consumes less hard disk capacity for saving music files than the WAV format. You can
convert the PCM data saved in the FLAC format back to the original data stored in the CD for
playback. When [FLAC] is selected, you can save various tag information in the standard
format. The FLAC format is not available for playback in iTunes and requires more CPU power
for data expansion than the WAV format.

Copy speed
With verification and retries (Slow):
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 HDD
AUDIO PLAYER reads the same unreadable data for multiple times until the read results are
found consistent. In this way, PCM data read from a slightly damaged CD is compensated to be
nearly bit perfect. If a CD is extensively damaged, however, selecting [Without verification and
retries (Fast)] may ensure stable data reading.
Without verification and retries (Fast):
PCM data read from the CD drive is saved directly in the WAV format or converted and saved in
the FLAC format.

Album information selection
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. When
it finds more than one possible albums on the Gracenote server, it displays multiple possible
albums. When it finds no possible album, select the [Data not found on server.] option. The
HDD AUDIO PLAYER uses tag information for the album name (Album00001) and the track
name (01 track) to avoid overlapping with other albums. The numeral part of the album name
incrementally increases for each CD copy. The numeral part of the track name indicates the
actual track number.

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:
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. Executing the copy
operation will overwrite the previously copied music files. Be sure to make a backup copy of
the files as needed.
