Jim, thanks for your advice. I'm using Nero and
Roxio, and occasionally MusicMatch. I was able to copy all of
disc two (so now I have all of it but track one on my HD), but track 1
of disc 1 won't rip. As it is, I really don't have any working CD players
other than my CD-ROMs on my computer. The track *plays* fine, but won't
copy. And while I could re-burn the rest of it as it is, the first track,
The Deathless Horsie, is about 12 min and includes the band introductions, so
I'd really like to have it.
mystified,
Joseph

That is very strange indeed. a cda
file is in fact a cd-da marker. In other words if you put a regular music CD
in your PC and explore the disc you should see only cda files. There should be
no wav files on a music CD. The CD-DA (compact disc digital audio) format
can't be supported as such on a hard drive and the cda files are actually just
markers to let your computer know that the disc contains CD-DA. The question
is why would there be wav files on the disc? If you put that disc in a stand
alone player the CD-DA or cda file should be the only one that plays. Unless
your player plays wav and mp3 as some DVD players and car audio players do.
The gaps you have been hearing are probably just there from the application
you use to play wav on the PC. Like if you were playing a group of mp3's. It
could be that if you take the wave files and burn them DAO set for no gap you
might have a good CD. Except for that mysterious track one. It could be ripped
to a wave file though with EAC. Or if your not familiar with EAC some other
ripper like Nero Or Roxio. Just be sure to rip it to wav and not to mp3 to
maintain full CD quality sound.

Hi,
In an attempt to edit out the 2 second gaps in the 31
Mar 79 Munich show, I have copied all of disc one to my hard drive.
However, I cannot copy track one, as my software says it can't copy a .cda
file. Well then, how do I access this track? All the others on
disc one are .wav files.
I'm still trying, but if anyone has any helpful
methods/ideas, please let me know.
thanks,
Joseph
