Creating CD Audio

[MartinImber]

I want to copy some tracks off a pretend CD at full CD quality and then burn a CD Audio with them.

How do I copy the audio tracks off the CD to create the new one.

I don't care about rights because if the company involved were bothered it would be a CD Audio.

Ok the disc says Compact Disc digital audio but also says video enhanced - and doesn't work in my DVP-S715

I have a Minidisc of this not CD, but would like a CD as well.

If you rip to MP3 at about 258K you should be at about CD quality. Then just burn back to CD using something like Nero. Simple

Er if you rip to 44.1khz 16bit Wav then you actually will be cd quality.. then burn that. Why add a lossy step?
In terms of ripping, exact audio copy is the best one available. Go to
www.exactaudiocopy.de
Its free as well, but might be a bit daunting at first I'm afraid.

If I want lossy I'll use MD.

I want to create an exact copy - the non CD DA bits - ie create a red book CD

Then I'll contact Philips about BMGs false labelling

If you want to do an exact copy, try something like CloneCD works very well indeed.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us what the CD in question is, Martin In what way is BMG's labelling incorrect?

I've not used Exact Audio Copy but have heard many good things about it. Certainly, you don't want to be ripping to MP3. I use CDex and CD DAE myself since both my drives support accurate audio stream extraction.

As recommended by Sgt Colon, Clone CD will let you copy a CD and you can turn on/off various things including subchannel data. This should mean that you're able to create an exact copy of your CD minus anything you're trying to avoid in the subchannel data.

No, but I'm less lazy than you for posting links 'cause they're all in my IE Favorites

I can vouch for CDex, an absolute breeze to use.....and uses the critically acclaimed LAME encoder.....

I'm intrigued to know why? I've got this handle on a load of other forums apart from this one, and I've not offended anyone else with it yet, so I'd love to know why it upsets you

I'm interested in backing-up some of my CDs. Can someone here explain (in simple terms) why some copying programmes are better than others?

How can one copier take an 'exact' or better copy and another not (assuming the same cd drive/burner is used)?

I'm not saying I disagree that there are better copying programmes, I simply wish to gain a basic understanding.

[MartinImber]

It is miss labeled

Compact Disc Digital Audio is red book, my DVD player handles Red book - red book means no videos or other cack.

This stuff stops my DVD player reading the disc.

Because there are many ways to copy a CD, EAC has options to make damn sure that it does the best possible job. Most other programs don't try too hard and go for copying speed over quality.
