Should have added that "dBpowerAMP Music Converter" is free (or was when I downloaded it). Derek.W

If you burn a .wav file to a cd as a data file then it's still a data, and not an audio, cd. You can then play that disk with WMP, winamp or any of the other players. But it's not an audio cd that will play in a cd player. It's just an audio file on a data cd. You need to use your burner software to specifically create an audio cd. I think the last time I did that I was using some dated burner software that had me constantly swapping the music cd with the cd being burned. You'll need to check the manual or help file for your burner software to see how to do it. You may be able to do it as I did above or your burner software may be able to create an audio cd from .wav files on the HD. I suppose it's also possible, if you've actually created an audio cd, that your player won't read a cd-r disk.

ccfrank, I've been using MM for a long time; works great. The only thing that I can't make it do is rip entire multi track CD to ONE mp3. Looks like dBpowerAmp does that. Thanks, DAVEINCAPS M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Only the more recent home CD players can handle computer file formats. Most require the old fashioned CD format. Derek.W

My situation was a little different. I have a CD with one track that for some reason wouldn't rip onto the hard drive. The CD played fine, and I cleaned it to be sure, but no luck. I tried Musicmatch, Real Player and Windows Media Player, and none would rip past 54%. Musicmatch tried to revert to analog mode, but I was left with a 5.5Mb file that had no sound. I tried to copy the CD to my hard drive, and ran into the above problem - that windows only copies the shortcuts. I downloaded dBpoweramp and was able to extract the file to the hard drive, and now have the complete CD on my hard drive. My other option was to try to make a copy of the CD onto my second drive, but couldn't figure out how to do that in XP. Thanks for the tip. Good tip on burning multiple MP3s to one file. I have to try that still - hope it helps the listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall in random mode, which cuts up the flow of the songs.

We're glad we could help. The virtual file/shortcut that 98 shows on audio cds fools alot of people.
