Aman, Thanks. I really hope we can do this because I think we'd all enjoy the disk.

Try, first, playing the CD in your CD drive. If that works, try ripping the disk with your ripper of choice.

Now if we can convince Dave's stepmother that we may have a chance of retrieving this data. Oh, if we could only have known that she had put the wrong disk in the jewel case. <sigh> Now, please tell me about recovery software. This will be a whole new experience, other than the burning of course. Pam On Mon, 19 Apr 2004 03:22:57 -0400, you wrote: Hi. The CD format is worldwide. It's possible that whoever was burning it didn't finalize it, that it's a CDRW (they won't play on most standard CD players), that the disk itself is bad, or a number of other things. However, these things could just as well happen to a disk recorded down the street. I think your idea is a good one. Get it into a CD-rom and try to get the audio off it as data. If it's bad in itself, use recovery software to get the data off it.

Subject: Is There Any Reason Why A CD Recorded Overseas Won't Play on a U.S.Player Versa? Dave's stepmother bought a cd in Ecuador and wanted to play it for us before giving it to her granddaughter as a graduation gift. The disk was bought at a school for blind and disabled students who performed the Spanish music as part of a tour taken by Dave's stepmom and her group. When she put it into her very old cd player it seemed to spin but wouldn't load. We offered to burn a copy or at least see if it would play on our own player. When we got back home from our visit with her we discovered that she somehow managed to give us the wrong disk. When we called to tell her we needed to go back to exchange the one we had for the correct one, she said that some of her granddaughter's friends had experienced the same problem. I'm wondering if the disk was "home-made" in the first place, so to speak. Has anyone heard of such a situation?
