Think I might change my Mudcat name to Gormless! Tried opening it with RealPlayer and there were all the audio tracks – went on to burn the CD.
Thanks folks and sorry for taking up your time!

It sounds as if you've got a mulitmedia CD which has all the 'PC content' in the first track, and the rest stored as standard audio CD files, which a PC will not read directly. Some CD players will not play these CDs correctly, you have to skip past track 1 then all is okay.

Try ripping the tracks to MP3 using Windows Media Player (or similar). Alternatively, if you have Nero (not Express), or some other CD burning software, you should be able to copy the audio tracks using that.

SoundForge will allow you to directly extract the audio files from a CD, but it's very expensive...

Thanks Treewind – if only 'twere that simple. That was the first thing I tried but using Windows Explorer, no audio files appear.

Copy all the audio files into a folder on your computer, then use your usual CD burning program to make an audio CD from them.

I assume the tracks are all .WAV or .MP3 files. Most CD burner programs can burn audio CDs from either format.

I have a CD rom of "O Brother Where Art Thou" which of course contains all the songs as well as screen savers etc.
I'd like to make a CD of these which I can then play in my car. Does anyone know a shortcut to doing this rather than recording each track individually?
