WAV tracks or a disc image?
Choose WAV when you want individual files to play, edit or convert later. Choose BIN/CUE when you want an audio-disc image instead. This task does not directly export MP3. You need an optical drive that can read the audio CD.
Read the CD and save its audio
- Insert the audio CD, open Audio & Music Wizard and choose Rip Audio CD.
- Select the Source Drive. Use Refresh if you connected a drive after opening the wizard.
- Choose WAV as the output format and select a destination with enough free space for uncompressed audio.
- Review the read speed and error-recovery options. Continue to the summary, then click Start.
- Wait for the operation to finish and listen to the saved tracks, especially any areas where the disc had read errors.
Make smaller MP3 copies afterward
Keep the WAV files as your source and use SoundTurn Audio Converter when you need compact MP3 listening copies. If the CD is scratched, retries may help reading but cannot guarantee recovery; check the output rather than assuming every completed file is error-free.
