MadamMillie Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 ok, i must first include a note of acknowledgment and a disclaimer: all my info comes from mister shadygroove himself, so any problems/misinformation you'll have to blast HIM for, i'm just the messenger;) ok, onward:TO BURN A CD FROM A CD YOU ALREADY HAVE BUT YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CD-RW DRIVE:1) go to www.download.com2) download and install a program called cdex3) insert your original cd4) cdex will read the original track(s)5) select them all6) umm...i forget the exact steps but basically you can either rip the tracks from the cd and keep as the original .wav files (do this if you're gonna burn to another cd) or convert into .mp3 files7) i think that's itnow that you have the tracks on your hard drive, you want to burn onto a blank cdyou need another program to do this, nero is the one i and shady both use, but you cannot just download this, you need to either buy it or find a nice buddy who will loan it to you (and you need the serial number)1) install Nero2) follow the wizard to burn an audio cd3) starting with track TWO, highlight the second track all the way through the last track4) right-click and hit "Properties" or it might be "Pause"5) you wanna find where it has the "Pause" option and the default is two seconds - change it to zero6) burn awayVOILA!sorry, i know these aren't quite specific at points, but you get the idea:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crank47 Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 If you have Nero, just use the copy disc option from the wizard. It'll have you insert the original, it'll rip to the HD (temp folder), then have you put in a blank, to which it'll record to. Makes perfect copies with no pauses (unless they were on the original). I use it all the time to make "back-ups." I know EZCD Creator has a similar option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jroo Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 this is what i want to know. i had a problem the other day. i made a cd. it works great. i wanted to put the songs on my friends computer. that's where the problem was. apparently the songs got burned as .cda its stands for cd audio, and they are read only, of course. but how come i couldnt just drag the tracks off of the cd and put them on the desk top? i could get the name to come up in the player of my friends computer but there were no minutes or bytes or anything stored on the computer, and then it would only play if the cd was in the computer. like it was a link to the cd drive. what the fuck?, over.

I've never been able to just drag tracks off a cd and have it automatically rip, except on a mac. I've found that on a pc I have to use some program to rip the tracks onto my hd in mp3 or wav. I guess it could also be some of that new copy protection bs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's called CD Audio, cause, well, it's CD Audio. Your computer won't be able to play it back or do anything with it other than just point itself back to the CD. So, you need to rip the shit off the CD into MP3 or WAV format, so your computer can understand it.You can then put it back onto another CD if it's a WAV file, because your CD burning software will create the CDA files off the WAV.
