CD/DVD Layout


To add music files to your compilation, just drag and drop from local browser (top) to the audio-cd layout (bottom). If you don't want or are not able to drag and drop, you can select the files you want to add and then click the "Add"-Button in middle toolbar.
Alternative Add button

To change the order of the tracks, drag and drop them within your audio-cd layout up and down (your cursor changes to the following symbol: Arrow). You can also use the context menu (rightclick on a music file in layout).

Context Menu

If you don't like the middle toolbar, you can deactivate it using the "view"-menu. This toolbar is meant to help unexperienced users or those who are not able to drag and drop.

You can also use the DropBox. To activate DropBox, press the blue button DropBox you find at top right in CD layout. CDBurnerXP Pro will minimize and only leave a small box at top left corner which you can move. Now you can explore your PC (Windows Explorer) and drag your files onto the box to add them to compilation.

DropBox

You can also make it transparent in settings dialog.

To play a music file, select it in your audio-cd layout, then click the play-button of the audio player (the dark thing above your local browser). Doubleclicking a file also works.

You can also save your compilation, so that you don't have to add all files manually if you create the the compilation more than one time. Go to File > Save/Save as to save your compilation. To open it again, choose File > Open.

Gapless CD? This is possible, in Documentburn Audio-CD you will get to know how. By default there will be a 2 sec. gap between all tracks.


Local Browser

Toolbar

Toolbar Button Move one folder upwards
Toolbar Button Create a new folder in the folder you are currently browsing
Toolbar Button Select all files of the current folder
Toolbar Button Deselect all files of the current folder
Toolbar Button Invert current selection, all files that were selected are unselected, and all files that were unselected are selected after pressing this button.
Toolbar Button Filter the files that are shown. Here is how it works:
1) Show only files with a special extension:
Use *.extension as filter. "*" replaces all filenames and ".extension" is to be replaces by your extension. For example if you want to show only mp3 files, use this as filter:
*.mp3
If you want to show only mp3- and wav-files, you can seperate both with a semicolon:
*.mp3;*.wav
More examples:
image filter: *.jpg;*.bmp;*.png;*.gif
audio filter: *.wav;*.mp3;*.wma;*.ogg
video filter: *.mpg;*.wmv

2) Show only files beginning with a special letter
That is what you have to use as filter: yourletter*.*
For example if you only want to see files beginning with an "a", use
a*.*
as filter. You can also combine with an extension, so using
a*.mp3
you will only see mp3-files beginning with "a". Again you can combine multiple elements with ";".


> > > Tip: You can also use "?" instead of "*".
"*" replaces an undefined number of chars, "?" only replaces one letter. So if you only want to see all files with "a" as first letter and any second letter use
a?.*
Files like ab.mp3 will be displayed, however no files like abc.mp3.


All other standard Explorer actions can be performed by context menu (right click) or drag and drop.
