Barry Beckham Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Can anyone tell me why I cannot open a piece of music into Audacity from a standard music CD.Thanksbbdigital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpete Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I can't say why, but I can confirm the same experience. I have always had to extract to .wav first, then load that into Audacity. I think it's because the music on the CD is in some kind of streaming format rather than discreet files, so it must be extracted to a file format that Audacity can handle. I don't know the technical terms, but I'm sure someone here does. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGL Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 One of the reasons: Audacity can not read protected CD. Use Audiograbber or Sound Forge 6 (5)Regards,Oleg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
