Good Morning
Some while ago I put all my music onto an external hard drive. Last night I was
asked to play a specific track that I know I have in one of the many, many
various artistes discs I have but I just cannot remember which one. A simple
search would find it but I just cannot work out

Hi,
Hello Brian
I'm sorry but I gave the incorrect program name. On checking I find it's
really dbPoweramp and the url is:

Yu will find it does a lot more than just converting .aa files but that is
all I use it for.

Yes. You will need either SoundTaxi Pro or dPower. Both will convert to MP3
and Wav. They may also do other audio types but I'm not sure. dPower does
the fastest conversion in around 10 to 20 minutes but some of the encoding
is not there so cannot be then used on some other software. Such as

They have been played many times but always in audio cd players not

I don't think this is the answer as I've had these discs for 12/15 years
and during that time had at least 4 CD drives plus the 2 my wife has had and
none of them have ever played these discs.

I assume you are asking what format they are. As I've never been able to get
my PC to recognise them I don't know but as they are commercially purchased
music CDs I guess they are cda.

A while ago I decided to scrap all my music CD’s and store them onto my

Done that and it worked up to a point. For another disc it's just fine but

Sorry ketan I missed your previous post. Enter SoundTaxi in Google and the
website will pop up giving a price as well. I've had mine so long I just
can't remember the price any morel. I think the Pro version is the one you
need. To my knowledge it's the only software that will convert Audible.
I assume these are Audible files with the .aa extension. If so Goldwave will
not convert them and the only program I know of that will is SoundTaxi

I'm in the UK so hopefully that draconian rule will not apply to me. But it
probably answers why the discs are so well protected. Time life is a US

I also use a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 card. When I moved to Win7 64
bit it stopped working as yours has. A visit to Creative's website, with the
aid of sighted assistance, for a driver upgrade solved that and it's now as

Hi Andre
Wouldn't be too quick to say no as when Buddy Holly died in 1958 they found
piles of multi track tapes of his work that were rearranged and released. A
friend who ran a band and studio from 61 until 68 was doing multi track all
that time. Rob mentioned Audacity and that, I believe,
A friend, before he died, make his living singing with a portable karaoke
machine and he used the type of software you describe to strip the vocals
off of CD's. I understand the CD's have the vocals in a different track to
the music so it is relatively easy for software to achieve this.
The guy I knew never seemed to have any problems. So maybe they all are done
that way when recorded professionally.
