From: Michael on 31 Jan 2010 06:02 When I select my tunes from my hard drive, they play automatically in Windows Media Player. One file that I forgot to transfer, was a list of reggae tunes. So to accomplish this, I transfered the CD to my external hard drive. Now, when I try to play them, they fail to play in the above feature. So, rather than going through the whole rigmarol in having to record all the tracks to my CD, then inserting the breaks, is there a solution to the issue that I am having right now? I should automatically see a whole list of tracks on the right pane under the Media Player? I am getting nothing right now. Thanks Michael Feldman PS. All tracks are listed in the CDA extension. Eg. Track1.cda. If I try altering cda to wav, then the track will not let me enter the Media Player.
From: neil on 31 Jan 2010 13:05 Sounds like the music on the CD is in audio format not mp3, would that be right. If you just copy the files to the hard drive then you will get nothing, you need to rip them off the CD to the hard drive. If you forgot to create a track on the CD in audio format then you will need to do the CD again with the missing track.

Specify what you did to, " transfer the CD to my external hard drive"...? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
From: Michael on 31 Jan 2010 14:07 Neil I tried 'ripping' my files from an item of CD software installed on my computer without success. However........... Went to Media Player and 'Ripped' the files from there. It now works. Whereas before, the files did play via a straight copy. But then........... Soon as I rebooted, I got nothing. Still, what I could like to know now. Is there any way that I can get all my tracks to show in the right pane in Media Player? Also, whether I can get the titles to show as well? On a final note. I may need more help as far as the Media Player is concerned. In particular since until recently, I've been playing my CD's. Both my CD players don't always take kindly to my home made CD's. So, having to rely on playing my tracks from the hard drive instead. Michael Ps. Files are now saved in WMA format as against CDA. Again, these different file extensions a 'grey area' since I have not studied what each one of these file extensions are supposed to do?

You transferred nothing...CDA isn't a music format, it's Microsoft's way of showing you what is on a CD. IOW, your CDA files are not music and are not playable. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
