Hi,

Does anyone know how to change one CD image file into individual track after you have ripped a CD?

Thanks,

Howard

Depends on how you ripped it

If you ripped it with MC it should be in seperate tracks already
Unless you ripped it as apes with cue track

More info would be handy

You could use http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (free) though

The file was ripped as one CD image into and ape file with a CUE file.  I read that the CUE files just recorded the length of each track.  Is there a way to use the CUE file to parse the separate tracks?

[dlone]

What i'd do is use daemon tools (or any other virtual dvd program) to use the cue/ape (convert the ape to a wav and edit the .cue file to change any .ape into .wav and any APE to WAVE) as a pretend cd and the rip it from there as seperate tracks - you'll have to change your options in MC to rip into seperate tracks

There's a few other ways to d it but thats probably the fastest
Of course as it's a rip of a cd you own and not a download just change the options in MC and re-ripping is the easiest

[howiec721]

Can I just use my copy of MC to covert from ape to wav?  At what point does MC take in the CUE file and re-rip it?

[dlone]

Yeah you can use MC to convert from ape to wav no probs
Drag the .ape into playing now, right click on it and pick library tools->convert format (set the format to wav if it's different)
That's what I usually do

Then I'd edit the .cue file (just load it into notepad) and change any ape to wav and any APE to WAVE
eg change anything like this
FILE "myalbum.ape" APE
to
FILE "myalbum.wav" WAVE

Then mount the .cue file into daemon tools
MC will see it a 'real cd' and you can rip it any way you like

[howiec721]

I see.  What exactly is a daemon tool and where can I get it?

[dlone]

Ah, ok it's one of many 'pretend cd' programs
You can use it to load cue/iso etc and the pc sees it as if you had actually got an extra cd drive and sees cue/wav or iso files as a 'real' cd
You can get it from here
http://www.free-downloads.net/programs/Daemon_Tools
(I'd recommend unticking the free google toolbar or whatever they call it now - you don't need it)

The real name for it is a 'cd emulator'  - google it it you want more info

The main feature of them is that you can use a disc image on a hard drive as a 'real' cd just as if you had put a physical cd into the pc

Say you have one hard drive called 'C:', a dvd/cd called 'D:' then after installing daemon tools or a similar program you'll get an extra dvd/cd drive called 'E:'
It's not a 'real' drive but just a pretend one that you cad use to load .iso, .cue file etc and the pc thinks they are 'real' cd's and you can use for example a cue/wav as if you had put a real cd into the pc

(Sorry for the vague descriptions but i'm in the UK and we're getting all ready for the monday night nfl -by the time it starts I don't think anyone will be sober enogh to watch it though.....)

MC 11.1 can import and play cue tracks that it creates from cue files.

It can also convert these cue tracks to individual track files.

[howiec721]

Thanks.  Everything works great. 

I have another question.  I have all these CDs I own that I already ripped.  When the CD loads up, the track info are all wrong.  So I pain stakingly corrected them an d ripped my CD.  Now I have been ripping without the secure function so I want to re-rip them on a new and faster computer.  Of course all the track description reverted to the online version.  Is there some way of using the tracks that I already ripped to use those description as the new description for the same CD?  I mean the CD is the same it should be able to recognize that it has the same info on it.
