RIP a music CD files.
If I RIP a CD I get a folder with the tracks on it. Beside that I get its
JPEG IMAGE files (CD front/back picture) but they are difined as SYSTEM/HIDDEN files. Why ?? Is there a way to RIP these files as normal files (not SYSTEM/HIDDEN files) as defult ?? I do not want to set my PC to see all system files. I indeed want to keep the real system files hidden. Thank you. |

Is there a way to RIP these files as normal files (not SYSTEM/HIDDEN files) as defult ?? I suspect that this is a function of the software you're using to rip the CDs. Cover art is *not* on the CD itself, so your software must be querying a database someplace to find these things. (MS Media Player does exactly that, it reads an identifying string from the CD, and sends that over the 'Net to a database that MS maintains.) Look through the options settings in your ripping software, but don't be too surprised if you find you don't have a choice about this. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |

That depends on the software that you're using. The Media Player creates these .jpg files, most other software (third-party) doesn't. -- d-d |

Thank you. You don't state what program you are using. You should be able to do what you want with iTunes (which is free), no iPod required. iTunes will also record real audio CDs that can be played in a normal (non-MP3) CD player. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ -- ======== Tecknomage ======== Computer Systems Specialist San Diego, CA |
