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

question
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
