DirectCD is a program that allows you to write files directly to a CD-Recordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc in much the same way that you copy files to a floppy diskette or removable drive.

DirectCD lets you read and write your files directly to your CD with any software application that can read from and write to a drive letter. Some examples include:

> Software applications, such as Microsoft Word, when you use the "Save" or "Save As" commands

>Windows Explorer when you drag and drop files
