Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to create an image that contains only selected tracks instead of whole CD?

I suppose you can, even though that kinda defeats the purpose of making an image file. but I don't think EAC will do it. My recommendation is to rip the files you want to wave files, burn them to an Audio CD, then use something like nero to make an image of that CD. But again...why make an image of a partial CD?

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Just adding to the above, rip selected tracks and then import them in Imgburn or CDBurnerXP to create an .iso(image) on HDD..You can later use the .ISO and burn it to CD or just extract and play with your fav media SW player..

Just call me stupid but why not just make a play list? That is what that technology is for. There is a considerable savings in disk space going that route.

OK! you asked for it!..The playlist, cue, m3u, whichever you created, still needs to be on the HDD in the same folder as the tracks themselves..The OP wants an image of selected tracks..But yeah! a playlist of selected traks is an easy option..

@ Mez, no offense intended buddie! just joking around..

No offense taken at all. I have about one of the thickest skins in AD. I am flippant so I don't mind other persons being flippant. The only persons that piss me off are condescending know nothings. You are neither. I have even more tolerance for persons that are a positive force in AD. I guess I also get bent when someone asking for help get cheeky with someone offering help. Especially, if the advice was sound but may have been poorly worded. They would be condescending know nothings.

My point is, even if you are going lossless, a well compressed flac or ape file will use far less disk space than a CD image that uses no compression at all.

Good point Mez!..Occasionally I'll create an image from selected flac tracks using foobar2k, works a treat!..As the say, 'more than one way to skin a cat'..
Cheers..

Yes, I noticed your absence. You started posting this week. Not much going on in audio these days. Either users now know how to use WMP or they do not see audio in the fast find. I actually have little time to spare these days. I have been out of work for 6 months so I am swamped with looking for work, doing household stuff for my wife who still has a part time job (thank god!), I am taking a programming course to up grade my skills and trying to find time to practice using my old skills. My homework in now running almost 40 hrs a week. It will exceed that shortly since it is coming to a close. That is typical for most programming courses at that college. You learn best my making mistakes. They make sure you learn plenty!
