| 269510 | 2004-09-05 10:23:00 | Forgive me if I am not supposed to ask this question here. I'm sure someone will delete it if I am breaking any house rules :) I am trying to burn a music CD for a friend's daughter. As the tracks on the CD have been recorded in .cda format, I am using "CD to MP3 Ripper" to convert them to MP3 format. The programme will only convert and burn the first 5 tracks on any CD. Is there anyway around this problem? |

| 269511 | 2004-09-05 10:34:00 | So you're trying to copy a music CD? At least that's what it sounds like. Ripping the CD to MP3 then burning it off again is a waste of time, and will decrease the quality of the audio. Just use the CD Copy function of your CD-Writing software, it should have a wizard that'll walk you through it. |

| 269512 | 2004-09-05 10:45:00 | Thanks WTF. Are you saying that any CD burning programme will successfully convert .cda to MP3? |

| 269513 | 2004-09-05 10:47:00 | No,he's saying rather then rip and compress just copy the entire cd. Cdex is the program to do what your asking about. |

| 269514 | 2004-09-05 11:04:00 | Have I not made myself clear? I am wanting to copy and convert a .cda CD to MP3 format. Her player does not recognise .cda recorded music :( I will check out Cdex, thanks :) |

| 269515 | 2004-09-05 11:12:00 | No you haven't made yourself clear. The word burn implies putting a song onto a CD, not ripping it to your hard drive. .cda is the bog standard format that every audio CD uses - go and buy any audio CD from a store and chuck it in a computer, all the tracks will show up as .cda files and it'll play fine in a CD player. |

| 269516 | 2004-09-05 11:15:00 | I would guess the player in question is more likely to be unable to read the cd due to it being a burned disc rather then the format,which as wtf has said is the standard format. If your using cdrw then try cdr. |

| 269517 | 2004-09-05 11:16:00 | No Zippity, it's not clear.. Are you saying your friend's daughter can only play mp3's on the player? If so there seems no reason you can't rip audio cda to mp3's & burn 100's of them.. More information on the programs you & friend's daughter are using may help some here to help you. |

| 269518 | 2004-09-05 11:18:00 | and if its a standalone player it won't have a chance in heck of playing mp3 files burned to a cd unless it was specificlly built with that feature,and if it was built with the ability to read mp3 files then it should have no problem reading a 1-to-1 copy of a cd. What are you trying to play it on? |

| 269519 | 2004-09-05 12:06:00 | Thanks all. For whatever reason, the CD would not play on the CD player in their car but would play on their PC at home. Anyways, I have now successfully copied and converted the CD (which was recorded in .cda format) to a CD in MP3 format. Clear as mud?? :D:D |
