Sounds like you're only accessing the 'Enahanced Partition' of the CD.


(sidebar: many of todays CDs are "enhanced", i.e., they include QT 

videos, html docs, photos and other gimmes that cannot exist in the same 

partition that holds the audio files. On the Mac, each partition is 

mounted separately, but newer versions of the CD/DVD driver in 

combination with other extents will attempt to "hide" the audio volume 

from the Desktop, while still making it accessible via the CD Player. 

Speculation is, in part, that this is a weak attempt to also reduce 

piracy, but, no matter.)


Make sure the name of the volume you are attempting to access via QT is 

named 'Audio CD x' (where 'x' is a number), and not the titled portion of 

the enhanced volume (e.g., Audio CD 1 and Squirrel Nut Zippers), locate 

the track number you desire, and press 'Convert'.


If this fails, just access the 'Audio CD x' volume directly on the 

Desktop, locate the track number you desire, and drag it to any volume on 

your HDD, where you can repeat the process from QT. If this volume does 

not appear, use CD Player to verify the volume is being mounted. If not, 

you have extention conflicts or missing drivers. Reset to Mac OS All and 

Restart.


Any further inquiries on this subject not related to Flash should either 

be addressed to the Tech Exchange Forum

directly to myself or another member.
