Re: Copying "Soundtrack from the movie ..." CD

Interesting. I don't look at each disk's files before ripping it (generally no need to), but in terms of the audio files themselves I can't recall any containing anything other than .cda's. A very good source of info which should answer any questions is http://www.cdrfaq.org/ The NP alt.music.mp3 can be a good source too, been a while since I looked at the group, but generally there's a fairly high smart-ass contingent there which rears its ugly head for particularly newbie inquiries...

Good luck,

Dan

Thanks, Dan. Yes, according to the label, this "enhanced CD features links and exclusive 3D screensaver" - and I have no interest in them. But there are no .cda files that I can see. There is a directory called "Saver" containing a single file called ss_setup.exe, undoubtedly the screensaver - and another directory called "Xtras" (which will not open). There are also 8 files with types .ini, .exe., .inf, .dxr, .db., .df. But nothing that sounds like an audio file. And although I was aware of the existence of .cda files on an audio CD, I never knew where the actual audio is saved.

The odd thing is that when I insert the disc, the CD drive "pumps" - rev up to full speed, hold for about a second, rev back down to zero, pause for a second, and repeat. Forever.

Puzzling.  I'll try Exact Audio Copy and let you know.  Thanks.
