Hello everyone, could someone need help with converting my audio book to mp3. my audio book consist of 8 disks for one book. Not sure if this is right but the format for it is CDA. So trying to convert CDA to MP3 format. I have search the forum. dont seem to have anything for CDA. Most likely I'm not sure what it is exactly but each CD have about 20 Audio Tracks. When I open it, display show Track#.cda and the size only 1kb. I downloaded Audacity 1.3 Beta and an error message mentioned that it is not an audio file and it does not open this type of file.

If possible please educate me and help.

thanks in advance

use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your CDs and convert to mp3. it is free and the best ripper out there. check out the link in my sig for the guide on how to setup and use EAC.

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

Thanks a lot Chris.

One problem with my computer. when I put a CD in to use EAC. My computer would shutdown and restart.

Do you happen to know what cause it? I tried a fews time and same thing happen. I am able to restart EAC but when I place a CD in the drive then that is when the computer have problem.

actually my name is Eric, but not problem.

does your computer restart when you put the CD in your drive, or when you run EAC?

I was able to installed the EAC with the CD in it originally, so not sure what the problem. So I deleted the Lame.exe(step 2), ASPI Layer DLL(step 2b), CFG file(step 3) and start over. After each step, I would restart EAC to determine if the computer restart or not. I am able to determine step 2b (ASPI Layer DLL) causing the computer to restart. Currently I have all the download from the guide except step 2b-ASPI Layer DLL. the CD is in the drive and no problem with the computer. The guide mentioned to download the DLL file for WindowsXP and Win2k Users only, and mine is XP Pro to be exact. That meant I should download but not certain.

Could you inform me if I need the DLL? if yes, how could I go about it without the computer restart.

Thanks

Tried EAC without ASPI Layer DLL download. It seem to rip fine and the MP3 file play after. So I assume it work without it, I hope. If I happen to need it, please inform me so. Not too great with computer. Not sure if this matter but I have Nero and when I checked the Nero tool info, the wnaspi32.dll already exist on my computer. Not sure exactly why when downloading that same file in the EAC folder would cause my computer to restart.

Thanks Eric

wow thats strange that your computer restarts like that...what OS (operating system) are you running? You can use EAC without that ASPI driver, its just a better one than the default windows one. But as long as you got it working thats all that matters. So were you able to successfully rip the CD, then have LAME properly encode the wave files to mp3?
