Copying a CD

[Judy L]

I was wondering if its possible to copy a cd (music) on to the hard drive,
and then selecting certain songs to burn one copy on a disc to play in the
car. When I created a folder to put the cd in - I thought I copied them
over, but the folder was empty.

Can anyone help please
Judy

What you are wanting to do is to "rip" tracks from the cds. Look at CD
Burner XPPro from http://www.cdburnerxp.se/features.php . This will
allow you to "rip" the tracks then burn the cd.
PS it's free.

What software do you have for burning cd's? Quite often when you opt to burn
a music cd when they ask what is the source it will let you pick multiple
cd's. So you can insert the first music cd and pick song 7 then another cd
and pick song 2 and so on. When you go to actually burn the cd onto a blank
it will tell you to insert the first cd, then it will read song 7 then it
will ask for the next cd and so on. Once it has read from all the source
cd's you have chosen then it will burn it onto your blank. So check your
software, you may not even have to burn it to the hard drive by yourself it
may do all this for you.

Nero is all I have here. Not sure if Windows Media will let me do it.

Thanks, I'll try anyway.

Nero should allow you to do what you want to do. What version of Nero
do you have?

The Nero support site http://www.nero.com/eng/Support.html have a large
number of FAQs that will probably give you all the information you need.

Have a look in the Tutorials (Previous versions) Nero Burning ROM 5
section (tutorial 7).
Also you can get an up grade to 5.5.10.56 from
http://www.nero.com/eng/nero-up_vor.php if you want it.

Please do not remove the "Re:" when replying to a post - otherwise people
may think it's a new thread.

Yes, you can rip Music of the CD on to your hard disk as mp3 using Media
Player 10. If you rip in mp3 format rip at 320kbs to get a better quality.
Better still if you can rip as wav, you'll get high fidelity sound since you
want to copy back to CD. With WMP10 put a CD in your drive and then select
the Rip tab, in Tools|Options set the rip parameters, if you use WMP that
is.

With Nero, create a music CD, select and drag-drop the songs you want to the
new compilation, and that will burn (and convert) your selected music as CDA
format onto you CD.

No, Nero will save the CD copy as ISO or similar to your hard drive. This
an image. Then Nero will use this as a template for burning another CD.
You won't see it using the CD copy option in Nero. But this is what's
happening in the background.

Use the CD copy option, not audio CD burning, in Nero. Some music CDs have
extensive copy protection, and may not be broken by Nero. In that case,
some more extensive preparation is involved, which I'm not prepared to
answer due to the legalities.
