Half-OT: Switch Between Audio or Data Contents
Posted: 29 Dec 2012 13:51
Here's a tricky one.
On mixed audio/data CDs I have this issue which may be easy to fix but currently I can't see how.
When I insert a mixed content CD, currently I can't see the audio tracks at all, even after using the old trick of ejecting the CD just to put it back again.
*In an early installment, I had a nice, gentle properties tab (right click the CD drive, select properties and locate this specialized tab) which allowed me to see all the data/audio sessions and conveniently select them*.
Currently I have to run CDroller and "open as audio", then select a track, wait for the software to extract it, then listen to the track, one at a time.
I think this tab was from a 3rd party software, Nero perhaps.
Google is not helping *over the years*, as I need this and often do some searches but get nothing as a result.
1. Can any of you point me alternatives to this, please?
2. Could XYplorer interfere on this, as I'm actually trying to merely access the contents of a mixed optical media from inside the file manager?
2.a What about XYplorer being able to display the several sessions of a multi-session CD, then allowing exploration of each individually, at convenience? This would be (another) unique feature for a file manager, as far as I can tell...
