this is gonna sound strange

i recently downloaded a movie (yeah i know but shuddap a minute) the movie file is in "bin,cue" format.. i forgot how to recombine a file that is compressed in this way..

can someone please refresh my memory.. i know it is a very stable compression format, but its been ages since i did one and am at a loss..

thanx in advance

A bin/cue file is a CD image.  You can open up Nero, or DiscJuggler, or whatever, and burn the CUE file as an image - it should point to the BIN for you.

thanx bud, my being stupid doesn't seem to apply to google tho.. i found this

and it seems to be working :smile:

 

another stupid chapter in "how to"

i need to convert .CDA to .MP3

what is the best free program to do this..

thanx

I'd probably have to go with dBPowerAMP Music Converter. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

I like Audio Grabber its the best one I have seen.

You can get it here.

thanx guys, i appreciate it a bunch.. i am trying edge's first, it seems to be doing the trick..

whether it does what i want or not, thanx a bunch :smile:

Well it did get my Vice City Soundtrack into UT2k3.

That's what I use now for MP3 ripping, it works pretty well.

AudioGrabber will rip to WAV.  Just drop it into LAME (free MP3 encoder) and you'll have MP3s of all your ripped songs.

for the most part, edges proggy worked.. at least as well as any could have..

my plan, i checked out some audio books on cd from our library, for the most part, my cdr/w had no problem copying 1 to 1, but being from the library, you can imagine the abuse some of the disc's took...

my cdr/w balked at the ones heavily scratched. so i ripped the tracks that were salvageable, with the assistance of the proggy, and a bottle of scratch remover.. (miracle stuff), messy as hell but it rendered the disc's from useless to 95%.. i lost few enuff tracks that the story should be ok..

anyways.. thanx everyone :smile:

 

Winamp will write to .wav as well

Hurrah for XMMS and grip!!

/me is now a snobby Linux user

Oh, btw...

My friend (being foolish) decided to get all his music off his CDs using Windows Media Player. Now, when I want to...uh..."borrow" his music, I get all this re-registration bollox. Is there any program you know which converts the wma files (or whatever the hell they are) into mp3s and destroys all of this nastiness? Thanks!

seems to me, using nero, and copying 1 to 1, you would bypass the messages..

even if they were in mp3 format..

still the proggy edge posted... it can convert MP3, to MP3, i had to just redo some i downloaded, because nero didn't recognise the MP3 format it was, but it did recognise the MP3 after i reconverted it..

go figure

If you ever want to rip music from a CD I recommend CDex...it's free and does the job. If possible don't mix around with the "MS Crew" :razz:
