Import Audio CD Tracks dialog

The File > Import > Audio CD command opens the Import Audio CD Tracks dialog box. Use this command to import an audio CD track (extension .cda) into your project.

The Import Audio CD Tracks dialog box has the following controls:

Track List. The main area of the window is the track list. Each track represents an audio track located on the CD. The tracks are automatically named and numbered in order. Any number of CD Tracks can be selected for importing.

Source Drive. The Source Drive specifies the CD device containing the tracks to import. The program attempts to locate all CD devices available. Click the arrow next to the drive letter to refresh the Source Drive. This process will verify if an Audio CD has been inserted into the drive. Once the Audio CD has been verified, the available track list will appear in the window after a few moments.

Import Bit Depth. Audio Tracks on a CD always have a bit depth of 16, but you can choose to import the tracks at a higher bit depth if desired.

Play. When a single track is selected, it can be auditioned by pressing the Play button. Once playback begins the button is renamed to Stop, so that the audition can be manually terminated.

OK. Imports the selected tracks. For each track selected, an Audio track is created in the project.

Cancel. Closes the dialog box without performing any action.
