Cannot play tunes in Media Player
When I select my tunes from my hard drive, they play automatically in
Windows Media Player. One file that I forgot to transfer, was a list of reggae tunes. So to accomplish this, I transfered the CD to my external hard drive. Now, when I try to play them, they fail to play in the above feature. So, rather than going through the whole rigmarol in having to record all the tracks to my CD, then inserting the breaks, is there a solution to the issue that I am having right now? I should automatically see a whole list of tracks on the right pane under the Media Player? I am getting nothing right now. Thanks Michael Feldman PS. All tracks are listed in the CDA extension. Eg. Track1.cda. If I try altering cda to wav, then the track will not let me enter the Media Player. |

Cannot play tunes in Media Player
Sounds like the music on the CD is in audio format not mp3, would that be
right. If you just copy the files to the hard drive then you will get nothing, you need to rip them off the CD to the hard drive. If you forgot to create a track on the CD in audio format then you will need to do the CD again with the missing track. Neil "Michael" wrote in message ...

Cannot play tunes in Media Player
Neil
I tried 'ripping' my files from an item of CD software installed on my computer without success. However........... Went to Media Player and 'Ripped' the files from there. It now works. Whereas before, the files did play via a straight copy. But then........... Soon as I rebooted, I got nothing. Still, what I could like to know now. Is there any way that I can get all my tracks to show in the right pane in Media Player? Also, whether I can get the titles to show as well? On a final note. I may need more help as far as the Media Player is concerned. In particular since until recently, I've been playing my CD's. Both my CD players don't always take kindly to my home made CD's. So, having to rely on playing my tracks from the hard drive instead. Michael Ps. Files are now saved in WMA format as against CDA. Again, these different file extensions a 'grey area' since I have not studied what each one of these file extensions are supposed to do?

You transferred nothing...CDA isn't a music format, it's Microsoft's way of showing you what is on a CD. IOW, your CDA files are not music and are not playable. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

When you used Media Player it compressed the CD tracks to WMA which stands for Windows Media Audio. *NOW* they are playable music files...they are decompressed to wave when played. To get displayed what you want displayed, you'll have to check the options in WMP, can't help with it as I avoid it but I'll bet it has a help file. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

I received both you posts. I cannot see the WMP file anywhere in Real Player. So it could well be a help file like you said. Thanks just the same for your help. Michael "dadiOH" wrote in message ...

Cannot play tunes in Media Player
For what I gather, Real player is mainly for playing videos. I do not
however have this on my system and remain quite aware that they are two different programs. For now, Nero and Media Player remains adequate for my needs. Still, where I went wrong just now was that I did indeed, mention 'Real Player' in my previous post whereas, it should have been Media Player. So, a bit of a 'slip of the tongue' to make 'light of the matter!' Michael "dadiOH" wrote in message ... Michael wrote: Dadioh I received both you posts.

Bob
I've unchecked 'Include this account when checking for new messages.' Rebooted, re-entered Outlook Express. The message no longer appears. So, thanks for helping me resolve this issue. Also while I'm here. Sometimes I get an issue whereby, my posts or threads refuse to send via the outbox feature. So wondering if you could 'throw some light' on why this sometimes happens? In particular since it can end up being an inconvenience not only to myself, yet, the remaining contacts trying to get help from this forum. Best regards Michael Ps. Thanks too for your post Bill. I'm having to resend this for the very reason described in the second paragraph. "Bill in Co." wrote in message ... Michael wrote: For what I gather, Real player is mainly for playing videos.
