Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
- Original Message - From: Vinny Samarco vin...@hughes.net To: blindt...@blindtech-list.info Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2010 10:54 AM Subject: A computer 101 question about copying. Hi everyone, I feel rather dumb posting this question to this list of highly skilled computer techs, but I can't figure out what to do but ask for help. Let me explain this situation. I received a cd from a friend which contains music copied from a real-to-real tape. It is just one 45-minute long file with no separate tracks. My plan is to copy this cd from the cd drive to a folder in the my music directory, then I will import this file to goldwave, and make 10 tracks, one for each song on this disk, and them do more editing as needed. This was not a commercial disk and I don't think it is copy protected. However, since there is no file name, other than track1, I don't know how to copy the material. When I go to copy this long file to the clipboard, all that copies and pastes is track 1, shortcut. I have winamp 5-something, and windows media. I tried copying or sending this long file to the designated folder, but all that coopies is the shortcut name. What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do to correct this. Thank you.

Re: Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
You will need a program that rips, or extracts the audio, from the CD to a file format like Mp3. CDex, a free and very accessible CD extraction utility, which is also an audio converter and recorder, will do the job. I know you can get a copy from whitestick.co.uk, but am not sure if it's an up to date version. Hope this helps.

Re: Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
Greetings, You are planning to use GoldWave to edit the file? why not use GoldWave's cd-reader function in the tools menu? Surely this will do exactly what you want as it would seem from your post, the cd plays in a normal cd machine. In the reader you can save the file to whatever format you wish, presumably as you intend further editting, you will save it to .wav. From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Re: Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
HI Chris, I have two projects: I have a 920mb movie on My Document from which I want to rip the audio an burn it to an audio disc. I have cdexe170 beta and can't get started. I would also like to make a copy of this file as beta format on a disc as a movie. Any help appreciated, Thanks, I tried to burn the file with Express burn and found the file, 920mb was too large to burn to a 702 mb disc.

Re: Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
Ok you will need a blank DVD then since as you stated 902MB is too large for a CD and that is correct. Never burnt movies before so am not sure on that one.

Hi Colin, I really appreciated your suggestion. Having never used it before, I was a little nervous, until I saw it work. Thanks again.
