greetings,
before anyone says anything,this is NOT about pirating anything!

....now that we have that out of the way, i have a home made audio cd (sorta a "greatest hits") which was burned with nero.

......it seems that there is a fault in 2 of the songs/tracks that are on the cd. can i extract the "good" non-defective songs from that cd to a folder to be re-copied onto another cd after replacing the defective track(s)? (how?).

......also, if i did that, is it a matter of drag and drop to nero's "compilation window" to be burned or more involved then that?

.......lastly, since i need to replace these 2 defective tracks, should i be able to throw that into that very same compiliation and burn it all to the cd?

thanks for any help you can apply!

Are your CDs RW? (Re-Writable)

...by your answer, i see you are misunderstanding me...the cd i have with the defective tracks is a cd-r which is a "one time burn".....i am creating a new cd-r and want to transfer only the "non-defective" tracks to the nero compilation window and replace the defective tracks with 2 other songs and burn to a fresh cd-r..

....i am well aware that cd-r is a one time burn and that cd-rw's are eraseable. i am also aware that cd-rw's don't play on some players......all that is not an issue, only the extracction of what is already on there to a fresh disc is....
 
if you want to take the songs back off the CD.. use a program like iTunes or WMP and just copy the songs to your library... or shouldnt you have the songs on your computer anyway? as you burned them to the CD the first time... then you can simply use those songs to burn a new CD...

im not sure if i understand what you are getting at though...

.ok, let me do/say this line by line;
1. i had burned musing to a cdr using nero.

2. i deleted the songs a while back so they are not on my computer.

3. i find that 2 of the songs burned (as above) are defective so, i want to do the disc over again (to a cdr of course).

4. i have the orig disc that i had burned and want to extract the songs that are good by placing them in my cd player and draging and dropping them into nero's compilation window to be placed on the new disc (cdr).

5. question, yes or no, will that work?
fyi, i don't keep play lists on ly computer nor do a keep any music for the most part and i don't have/use itunes.....
 
i dont know... you will have to try it...like the rest of us... lol...

my only suggestion if it doesnt work is use WMP to copy them to your computer and go from there...
 
You said you own the original songs that were on this cd... thats why its not illegal right? Why not just get the original artists cds and make a new mix?
 
Yes, you can download your cd to your computer, remove or add tunes, and burn to new cd. There are several software programs, including nero, you can use to do this. With nero do basically as you did to burn the cd the first time.

because some of the source cd's that had the singles/tracks on them are loaned out and i do not have them here at this time. at any rate, i figured out how to do this a few hours ago and it worked well. thanks for the help. i dragged and dropped the tracks off of the orig cd i had and replaced the defective tracks and reburned....

Yes. I did this just today.
There MAY be slight ripping errors by copying a copy, but if you use a program like Exact Audio Copy and enable heavy error correction, you should have minimal errors, if any. Save the re-ripped tracks to a folder, re-rip your tracks from your good CD, re-burn 'em all to a new disc. Done
