The CD plays in my CD player, but not in my computer. I want to rip the CD but computer won't recognize it

Question

I've got a 6 disc set of CDs that I want to on my Ipod. The CDs play great on all types of CD players (like my car or sony CD/tape player). My computer has been a reliable CD burner/ripper in the past. It was able to rip CD 1 of 6, but 5-6 it can't read. I ripped from another CD, went back to the set...and still nothing.

All I can hear is the CD spinning, and stopping, spinning and stopping, obviously having a hard time trying to recognize the CD.


Is there any other way to get that info off the CDs? ( I just tried to play the CD in another computer that doesn't have a burner, and that CD drive also was unable to recognize the CD)

Answer 1

it sounds like you may be failing to finalize the recording, or possibly you're trying to rip a CD that's copy protected. I use the Roxio CD creator and the CDs I make play anyway, but be forwarned. Roxio offers NO customer service after you buy their products and they won't return my emails asking for assistance.

Answer 2

if they are sony made cd's, look for a program that detects rootkits. sony music cd's install rootkits to prevent people from copying their music. it's illegal, but some people dont know about it.

Answer 3

it's some cds that don't work in the computer.

attempt putting it contained in the stress of your computing device then searching on what OS you've, like for winXP, to illustrate, you may want to click on start up, my computing device and then seem on the disk stress it truly is in,....even if it truly is exhibiting, then click on it and it truly is going to start up taking area in.

Answer 5
