Abstract

Disclosed is a compact disc recording device that includes a housing, sound receiving means for receiving audio signals, a compact disc recorder for recording onto a compact disc, and data storage structure in the housing for storing audio signals. The compact disc recording device is configured such that a music library of sound tracks is storable in the data storage structure, and the compact disc recording device includes means for selecting a set of sound tracks from the music library to be recorded onto a compact disc by the compact disc recorder. The housing includes a display which identifies at least one sound track of the music library.

Claims

1. A compact disc recording device comprising:

a housing;

an audio data receiver arranged to receive audio data from outside the housing;

a compact disc recorder located at least partially within the housing for recording onto a compact disc; and

data storage memory located at least partially within the housing for storing audio data received from outside the housing, said compact disc recording device configured such that a music library of sound tracks is storable in digital form in the data storage memory as a result of audio data being received through the audio data receiver, said compact disc recording device including a user interface comprising one or more manually operable function controllers on the housing, said compact disc recording device configured such that said music library is organizable into a song list, wherein said compact disc recording device is configured such that said one or more manually operable function controllers on the housing is useable to select a group of sound tracks stored in the data storage memory and operate the compact disc recording device to record audio data related to the group of sound tracks onto a compact disc using said compact disc recorder.

2. A compact disc recording device as recited in claim 1, wherein said audio data receiver comprises at least one external digital interface.

3. A compact disc recording device as recited in claim 2, wherein said external digital interface is communicatingly connected to at least one of a Serial Interface Bus and a Digital Signal Processor.

4. A compact disc recording device as recited in claim 3, wherein said external digital interface comprises an interface that is compatible with an SPDIF signal.
