CSDS does not record music. You need some music editing software. CSDS is music management software (organizes and plays music).

There are 4 choices for music editing software listed on our digital music page, http://www.ceder.net/digital_music.php

I recommend Sound Forge http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/Products/ShowProduct.asp?PID=868 or Goldwave http://www.goldwave.com/

I personally have CoolEdit2000 (no longer available) and Adobe Audition (pricey).

To record music, you basically follow these steps:

1. hook up your hilton to your computer. There's information at http://www.hiltonaudio.com/portable/digital_music_03.htm on how to do this.
2. run the music editor (e.g., Sound Forge, Goldwave, Adode Audition)
3. record the music
4. clean up the music (noise reduction, volume normalization, remove blank space at beginning and ending of record)
5. save the music as a mp3 (or wav) file
