“Recording from CDs” is the process by which
a CD track is converted into the much smaller
MP3 format, and is then added to the Wireless
Music Center’s music library (hard disk). On
the Wireless Music Center, “Recording from
CDs” requires two stages: firstly, it reads the
CD content and store it temporarily on the
hard disk; secondly, it converts this temporary
CD content into MP3 format - a process
called “background-encoding”. It takes 1 hour
to convert 1 hour of CD music. During the
first stage you cannot stream or broadcast
music from the Center.

base pre-stored in Philips Wireless Music
Center, which should match most of the CDs
released within the last six months.
