Create mixed CD image.
-
Well, although I admit that I feel quite embarrassed having to ask this, the truth is that "I think" I've forgotten how to do it.
Before, the truth is that I had no problem, because when I explored the CD (I'm talking about the times from W95 to WXP), as the files came out, the audio tracks also appeared in the file explorer.
With W7 I haven't been able to do it, and even with an unprotected CD, CD Burner XP doesn't show me anything beyond the first track.My idea is to make an image of several CDs that I have here in a bad way: Microtrack, La sobra sobre Riva, Drácula, Hollywood Monsters (with the song by La Unión), C&C and their Covert Operations...
I imagine it must be a matter of changing software, but the issue of being able to access the audio tracks from any player (AIMP or VLC) rules out that it's a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance.

I understand that you want to extract songs from some music CDs and with them create your own "remix" CD image, right?
To create images I used Alcohol 120% several times in the past and it went well. To extract songs from music CDs, I always used Windows Media Player.
Best regards!

The idea is to make a clone under the right conditions, but for some reason neither CD Burner XP shows me the audio tracks even when I try to create a music CD (to test if that was it).
Now you search the internet for memory, and you come across "luminaries" who confuse a Mixed CD with putting MP3 and PSD files in multisession; for the sake of it, let's go.
Let's not kid ourselves, I'll get it done by my own, even if I have to make a thousand and one stories, convert CDA files to MP3 and put them back as CDA, use the sound recorder to capture the copyrighted tracks... but damn, I've had to go through all this trouble in my fucking life to create a copy of a Mixed CD.
And this thing about the different tracks of a disc of that type not appearing in the file explorer is what's really bugging me.
Thanks for answering.
OT: Cobito. I'm missing a facepalm emoji like the one for food, please.

I already told you, I used the Windows Media Player to copy the songs from the music CDs to a directory, and then with the software of the time (of those, the one I used the most was Roxio Easy CD Creator, with more years than I can count), I "built" my disc or generated the image, depending on what I needed.
For mixed content, I used CopyToDVD, which I understand is not what you are looking for, but I loved that right-click and "add to disc with CopyToDVD" on the fly
I used this because I had a DVD in the living room that read everything, even if it was put in a disc "randomly", so I could put everything (videos, music, photos...) for parties, time with friends, etc.¡Saludos!

So that you can see how far my ignorance goes, I didn't discover the thing about Alcohol and ISO images (someone told me) until 2002 or so.
I, with one hand on my chest and the other in my wallet, I think I remember not going beyond Nero, WinAmp and EasyCD Creator. You can imagine the addiction I got (after buying that famous Philips CD burner in 98/99, yes, the one with the red button (CDD3610)) to copy "well" the games I rented at the video rental stores. To make matters worse, without internet.
I blame it on that, on the "hamburgerization", on having everything easy today, that you press three keys and "they give it to you done".
Anyway, it's like if they put a 386 in front of me now and ask me to configure the Autoexec.bat and Config.Sys for this or that.
Little by little I'm hitting the nail on the head: you have to convert the CDs to another type of audio format, MP3 or WAV, and compile it again as an audio CD without closing the disc, add the data track and close the compilation. And for the audio tracks protected by copyright, as I put it above (sound recorder configuring stereo mix as recording device) and repeat the process.
...and all for a game that I haven't even managed to get running with DOS-BOX (Microtrack by Aludra Software)
That said, thank you very much for your interest.
