Brian, How could Easy CD-DA Extracter help me with the CD which cannot even be seen by Windows? It would be great if it could, but I'm not sure how it would be able to assist in this case. Perhaps for the CD where I'm getting stuck with CDex on track 7, it might be worth looking for another program, so I might give it a try for that one at least.
Thanks, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brian Olesen Sent: 28 March 2005 18:09 To: PC audio discussion list.
