DVD Audio Files, they are MP3 format. They are on a DVD disc.
I have transferred other things from various sources with no problems;
creating a potential library for use later with Ipod.
Going through the same manner of importing as before, the Itunes
software will either not recognise the file, or if I try organising it
a different way will download the titles of the tracks but not the
tracks.
If I leave the disk in the machine the I can play back, accessing the
program through Itunes from the DVD.
How else I can explain it I don't know. The other suggestion about
converting the files to audio mp3 that will be accepted by a regular
CDR sort of makes sense and I intended to try that at the weekend.
Don't be mislead by my pseudonym, I am not in my dotage, you do not
have to be ninety to have grandchildren.
