I've come up with a creative way of burning a music cd with the Roxio that comes with XP. (The Roxio that comes with XP is NOT the full version and does NOT support direct creation of music CD's. i.e. from store bought CD to CD-R.) It's kind of time consuming, but it goes like this:
Choose a music track and select the "Convert to Wave" option. (It reads something like that. I'm at work right now and don't have my XP in front of me, sorry...) Copy the track as a wave to a directory on your hard drive. I put the folder on my desktop for ease of use. Repeat this process for every track on the CD.
When that is done for all the tracks you want to burn, simply go into Roxio and burn those .wav files onto the CD-R. (Do NOT copy the folder, just put the .wav's on the CD's root directory.) Once it's done burning the CD-R, if you go in and look at the files, it's made "Track1.cda, Track2.cda...etc. This is EXACTLY the same format as a music CD.
To recap, just copy the tracks to your hard drive as .wav files and burn those files to the CD-R. And voila! Hope this helps, I know it's a pain in the a$$. Now I'm just looking for a way to trick Roxio into making a VCD for me...![]()
