making a CD with just one track from a multi track CD

[Pete]

Hi, I need to make a CD containing just one track from a normal multi track CD. Is this easy to do, I havent tried it before. I dont want a mp3 copy etc, just something that will play in a normal old fashioned CD player. Any advice appreciated.

It's probably easier to copy it from a CD to MP3 or just download the MP3 from somewhere and then use a CD burner to burn it to disk.

Do you have CD burning software and know how to do that?

Here's how to get the track/s off a CD using Windows media player.

And from the same site this seems like a simple guide to burning the MP3/s to disk.

Thanks Barry, I have no problem ripping a CD to mp3s. What I want to do is author a new CD with the original track I want onto a new cd. They appear in windows as .cda files. I just want to grab one because they may be used in a player that doesn't recognise mp3s, etc. I'm familiar with various software that can make ISOs etc. I just need to chop the track out and make a new CD.

Rip the entire CD to mp3s, and then use CDBurnerXP to burn the song you want back to an audio disk.

Thanks Jayo, I'll try that

It all worked OK. I had another read of Barry's links and it turned out to be easy. Cant believe in 20+ years of using CDs its the first time I've had to do that. Thanks guys.
