1kyle Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you guys are using NERO (on Windows) and have SS 3.4 installed you can burn a CD to a "Virtual Drive" using NERO's Drive Image (bundled with NERO software ever since rel 5.0).You can then transfer to MD etc. using the SS software.This means you can burn a CD and then rip it without actually having to use "Real CD's).Lots of possibilities here.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 As I recall it that's been possible for a long time - but....Lots of possibilities here. ... I forget what the actual use of that procedure is! Remind me of the possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yes, this is indeed a very convenient method especially when you need to import those .iso created by using cuelist with Nero Burning ROM.*thread moved to its appropriate section of the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's also very handy if you master your own CDs with any regularity - a FLAC or WavPack file, or anything for that matter supported by Nero through plugins, with a cuesheet = fast rippable disc image for SS or SB.I tend to make CDs fairly often, like when I've recorded shows for friends. The process is cumbersome [because of the CD layout software I choose to use, which lack CD-Text support ubt does everything else in a way I like with an interface I am very comfortable with] because it involves burning a CD-RW, ripping it with EAC to a WAV image with cuesheet, editing the cuesheet to read exactly how I want it to, and finally making the image into either a FLAC [which has fairly easy support for embedded cuesheets] or WavPack image .. I back those up on DVD-R. When I want to make another copy of the disc, I just burn it directly using the cuesheet in Nero. I also, of course, can burn a nero image which I can then mount and rip with SS or SB, as mentioned already. Of course, using foobar2000 as a player, I can also drop the cuesheet into any playlist and play it, with all the track info and such shown properly. Heaven for the anal-retentive armchair archivist.What I wish I could find is something like Virtual CloneDrive that allows -recording- straight to image files, so I could cut out the CD-RW part entirely. Any suggestions, anyone? Virtual CD-R drive software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauljones52 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Useful if you have scratched CD's, extract using exact audio copy. Then mount on nero to maintain gapless playback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Getting a bit aside from the original topic, but I use Audition to create wave files with cues at the start of every track, then use CueListTool to create a cue sheet for burning. CueListTool can invoke Nero direct. CueListTool is at http://www.stefanbion.de/cueltool/index_e.htm and is a very hand piece of freeware once you've got the hang of it. Quite unique in fact. Sadly although it supports Wavpack files it's never been updated to handle Wavpack 4.x version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
