I am trying to rip some Audio CD's into MP3 format with Xing's Audiocatalyst but when trying to select the extraction method I can only select Analogue. ASPI support is greyed out. Any ideas why this is, I thought Win2k had Aspi support built in? I was also told to enable Digital CDROM support from the hardware manager on the CDROM drive, but this didn't fix the problem, any ideas?
You will need to install the ASPI files. If you have a copy of EZ-CD, Adaptec has a great installer. Other than that, try a web search.
hehe easiest way is to just download the aspi layer
www.fireburner.com
has it in there download, its the latest will run in 2000 I run it.
also I think its roxio now not adaptec, so eithyer adaptec.com or roxio.com will have the aspi layer.
I also have the necessary files on my website that I use for backup. Get the base files here.
Then you need to get the ASPI upgrade .exe and Adaptec's ASPI checker to confirm that everything was installed properly.
You need to unzip the zip file into your system32 directory. I will only have the files in this location for a couple more days now that I have made the location public, so if you need them, get them now.
Adaptec and Roxio do not take kindly to people giving away their ASPI files. It's almost impossible to find the base files (wnaspi32.dll and winaspi.dll) on their website. These are the two files you need to have on your system in order to run their aspi updater, which weren't included in Win2K.
