Hi,

I hope someone here can help me out. I bought the soundtrack to Lord
of the Rings, Return of the King. I am a figure skater and i went to
edit the music on my computer and when put the cd in it launches a
piece of art work. You can register online thru this screen and then
click out of it, but when i went into various editing programs ot grab
the track i needed- only files show up, no tracks. the files are five
small files that are related to the artwork screen. I am on a MAC and
i can play the music with my apple cd player but i can't save a file
from there it is just a player. Has anyone ever had this happen with a
music cd? This is not a DVD and it is the orig. copy from FYE.

Thanks

Judy

You should be able to launch iTunes and the audio part of the CD will show up in
it. Then Import the files.

You need what's known as a "ripping" program that extracts the audio
information from the CD file format and saves it in the workable WAV
format. I'm not a mac person so I can't recommend a program, but it
shouldn't be hard to find, if someone doesn't come along with a name
and a link before you search it out.

iTunes. The CD should mount on the desktop as an audio CD with the tracks
listed as files. Then iTunes can import the files as audio tracks in either
AIFF or .mp3 formats, a selection made in the preferences menu.

Everyone will be telling you to use iTunes, Apple's current CD/mp3
playing application, but since you mention the Apple CD Player, I take
it you are on an older operating system, like OS 8.6. The CD you have
has a data part (which contains the graphics) and an audio part.
Usually, you would see both of them on your desktop. You could then
easily extract the audio to a file on your computer. In some cases, the
audio disc doesn't "mount". A specialized program for audio extraction
will still be able to "see" the audio, but many regular programs rely on
the operating system to "mount" the audio CD part first. If you don't
see "Audio CD" on your desktop, they won't see it either. That's the
situation you seem to be stuck in. Program that still work in this
situation are Toast Audio Extractor and Astarte CD-Copy. They look at
the CD directly, bypassing the operating system.

As to why your audio CD doesn't mount, it's probably an extension
problem.
