CD Audio

Ok, I have been trying to get some information on this matter but so far no luck. Hope someone here can save my day

I have some PC-Engine CD Games and I would like to transfer the CD music to my computer. The problem is that when i try to access the cd in windows it will just not read it. Playing it in my standalone cd player works fine, so I wonder what I'm doing wrong here... I can't play the cd in media player, winamp or any other player i've tried...

I could of course connect my cd player to line in on my sound card and record that way, but i'd prefer a one-to-one digital copy! If anyone has any hints i'd really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Ok I finally found a way.. CDRwin can extract individual tracks. So if anybody else has the same problem they can now find a solution here

Because the layout of the discs is non-standard, winmm is unable to see the addditional audio tracks after the data track. foobar2000 is one such player that does not use winmm's CD services, thus is able to see CDs for what they really are, despite their layout.

Foobar has problems in correctly understanding the layout of many games. Some tracks will appear to be merged or won't be played entirely. I suggest using VUPlayer instead, a neat CD player which is able to read just any kind of weird mixed mode CD. I worked extensively with James Chapman to make sure that PC Engine games are perfectly supported.

Hey, have folks been able to do anything with CD-i format games? I haven't even looked into emulation / ripping of CD-i games (I will do that later today ), but I was curious if you knew anything about it (GREEN BOOK, yay!).

Use EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It can read PCE discs and it has excellent encoding possibilities.
