I know I could just download a program, but I want to learn how to do this.

The extension of the file is .cda, which I think is like a compressed or shortcut for the real file. Because if I drag the file out and take out the CD the music file will not play because it has lost it's source. So I'm thinking, should I use some string commands for this? Then maybe I'll need to convert them, but I think all I'd need to do is rename the extension to, say mp3 and it'll probably work. It needs to read into the D:\ drive and the file names are, Track1.cda, Track2.cda, and Track3.cda etc.

Thanks.

You will need to:

1. Find the drive

2. Search the drive for all files that have that extension

3. Copy those files to windows / folder

Commands: ( Lookup in helpfile )

DriveGetDrive

FileFindFirstFile

FileFindNextFile

FileCopy

As per answers.com CDA explanation

Hope this helps if not forgive me am noob :)

What happens when you right click on the cda file and select copy then choose your desktop and paste?

Perhaps there is some sort of copy protection.

I believe the CDA files are nothing more than visual representations that the audio CD has specific tracks; you cannot copy them directly. It think it would be analogous copying a desktop shortcut instead of copying the actual executable.

Search the internet for programs that rip CDs or extract music.

Yaw, maybe you could use the COM object for Windows Media Player to rip the tracks?

Hmm, very smart idea. I think I'll check into that.
