I tried a couple times, unsuccessfully, to make a compilation CD for a friend using Roxio. Not mp3 format, but regular CD music file types. I had roughly 17 songs from 10 different CD's. I put each CD in, click and drag the tracks, then when I click "Record", it prompts me for each CD, one at a time. Problem is, after about the 8th CD, the program just stopped responding. :bang: I tried the "Create CD from a CD Image" option, which pulls the songs off each CD and saves them in one giant file on the hard drive, then burns it to disc. This is supposed to eliminate "buffer overrun". The process is the same, insert each CD, click and drag, then when you click "Record" to extract the files to the hard drive, the program prompts you for each CD one at a time. Same thing happened-around CD #8, the program just stopped responding. :pissed:
Memory or hard drive space is not the issue. I remember my previous computer ("El Diablo", as I fondly referred to it...), I had the other big disc copying program (I cannot remember the name of it for my life). And if I tried inserting the individual CD's when prompted, it would also stop responding. I discovered that I could right click the tracks and I had an option to "Extract To File", and it would save to hard drive. I would then compile all the songs in one folder, and click drag from there and successfully create a compilation CD. I don't seem to have the "extract to" option on the new(er) PC. And when I go to the drive directly in Windows Explorer, the only file types I see are 1kb shortcuts to the individual songs.
I have no problems creating Data/mp3 CD compilations. These files are click-dragged from my hard drive, though.
So, question is, how to extract native music CD file types to hard drive to gather up for compilation CD? Running XP Home, Roxio Easy CD Creator. I've got Windows Media Player, of course, and also Music Match Jukebox, which I never use. Do either of these have a way to create a compilation CD?
