    Hi Gang; Could anyone please help on this subject.
    I have the beetles disk wich has 19 albums on it, what i want to do is copy each album to a cd, so i can play them in the car, i can do this but each album comes out as track 1, i cannot get it to list individual tracks like a normal cd shows.
    Sorry if this dont make sense will try to explain better if needed.
    Thanks for any response.

    Apparently you have a Data disc in order to get 19 albums on 1 disc. Each album being 1 file. What you are doing is taking each file & writing it to it's own CD. What you need to do is, take each one of those files & split it up into sub-files(for lack of a better term). Each song being it's own sub-file. If you have the Nero Suite, you can use Nero's Wave Editor to do this. If you don't have Nero, you could use Audacity(Freeware)to do it. Each works basically the same. You just import 1 of the files(Album). Then highlight 1 of the songs & "Save As" an individual file. I would create a folder & title it the name of the album. Then save all the individual songs in that folder. They will be saved in alphabetical order unless you number them(001, 002, 003).

    Hint #1: If you don't use the 3 digit system(001,002,003)& you just used 1 then 2 then 3, if you had 33 songs for example, they would organize like this. 1,10 thru 19, then 2,20 thru 29, then 30,31,32,33, then 4,5,6,7,8,9.
    Hint #2: [bold]Never[/bold] just "Save" a file. What this does is replace the original file(The Album) with your 1 song(Very bad). I learned this the hard way.

    I hope this makes sense & I didn't confuse you. It should get you started in the right direction,anyways. Good Luck!!

    Cheers digidave, thanks for the response, i have given this a try, when you open nero wave editor and open the track, it shows as a wave graph; now when i hi lite the 1st track and save as, great it saves. But when i come to play the track it has still saved the whole album, and not track 1, so what am i doing wrong dave.
    Tell you what dave if you wasn't having a break down before, you will be when i have finnished pestering you!.

    hmm.... It's been a while. Try this. Click on "Edit" then "Copy File to". If I'm not mistaken, this is what I wound up doing. Then once the file is saved, you can hit the "Ctrl" & "X" keys at the same time, This will delete the highlighted area(So be careful) from the Wave Editor only. This just gets it out of your way for now. When you have completed saving the last song & go to close the Wave Editor, it will ask if you want to save as is, click "Don't Save". This will keep your original file intact.
