generally the cd's will be on the side you want to record on. so when you
remove it from the spindle or package or whatever you buy them in, do not
turn them over to the other side or you'll have nothing but problems.
So, just place them in the drive on the side they're on. treat them as you
would any other cd.

For most cd's, there is a slightly raised ring around the center hole
about an inch or less from the center. The side with that ridge goes
down.
In any case, one should be careful not to get fingerprints or to smudge
the surface of the disk.

While we are on that thread, how can you tell which is the correct side
to
put the CD in to the drive so you know that you're recording. I am
VERY new
at this too. Or is there a smooth side and a rough side on the CD?
Forgive me if this a dumb question but I'd like to save myself a little
trouble.
Thanks for your help.
