Copying single tracks from CD's making compilation
« on: November 08, 2006, 08:23:32 AM »
I need to copy single or individual tracks from several of my CD's  (ie favourite tracks ) to make a compilation CD to play in the car.

I used to use Easy CD Creator Platinum 5 because it had a facility called "Soundstream" which allowed me too copy individual tracks from a number of different CD's DIRECT repeat DIRECT to the Disc that I was using as my finished compilation CD.

Since Roxio messed everything up and now have made that incompatible with Windows XP/SP2 I cannot use it anymore.

MY question  therefore is ..........does anyone know of any reliable CD Burning software that will allow me to do just that again , that is :-

Copy individual tracks from CD's direct to another Cd ,that is without loading it on to the hard Drive first.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

This is not a good idea.  For highest compatibility, you need to burn single session CDs - i.e. everything in one go.  You can't do that with tracks from multiple source CDs; they need to be stored on your hard drive temporarily.

Have a look in the software FAQ for all the tools you need.  Link is in my signature.

Thanks Rob and I appreciate  your reply , disappointing  in a way as it was because I used to do that compilation CD thing of my favourite tracks, with Soundstream when I could use the ECDC 5.

My personal problem is that I am somewhat of a "dipstick" with " matters computer ".

I find it difficult to even understand what half of the terminology means let alone use it.
However I'll try and work out what you said and mean.

Thanks again
