1.2 About Nero Express
Nero Express provides all the performance and efficiency of Nero Burning ROM with a simplified user interface. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Nero Express guides you
quickly and easily through your desired burning tasks. The default settings are selected to
automatically produce the best possible results. Using the program is remarkably easy:
simply select the project to be burned, add the files, and start burning.
Using Nero Express you can save audio files from an Audio CD to the hard drive. In the
process, the files are encoded, i.e. converted into a format that the computer can read. The
Audio CD can be automatically identified with Gracenote. So called metadata such as title,
genre, and track title are accessed by the Gracenote Media Database and associated to the
tracks. That way you have audio files that are accurately and fully named after the encoding
process.
cenote is the industry standard in music recognition technology and related content delivery. For more information, please visit www.gracenote.com.
