  5. Now click on the Next button to proceed to next page ().
>> Step 2: Select which format you want to use for encoding
  1. Select CD Image and Cuesheet as output format ().

  3. (Optional) Select the option Overwrite files with the same name (). When not selected, if there is already an CD Image file exists on the output folder, the file will not be overwritten and the converting operation will be skipped.
