There is one folder on the cd that contains .mov files. So what the hell format is the audio encoding in??
!!*@!$@** studios!!
“.mov” is a QuickTime file. I use this to play them QuickTime 7 There are codecs for many media players allowing them to play “.mov“ files. There are also converters that will turn them into just about any other format you want. None of them I have found had any DRM but doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I can’t recommend any of the codecs or converters because I just use the QT player. AFAIK there is not an easy way to get Media Monkey to play them but my info is out of date

Enhanced CDs are still supposed to have normal CD data. It's just that they use leftover space for extras. I remember, now, running into trouble ripping Enhanced CDs, on the final tracks, but I don't remember ever having trouble playing them as normal CDs. Still, I'm sure someone out there figured out how to bungle them. If that's truly the case with Graceland, my condolences.

I have a couple of enhanced cd's and winamp surfs through the junk and finds just the audio so I can then rip it to the HDD. AnyDVD running in the background might be helping things along as well

Unfortunately there's a chance that the first time you inserted the disc it autoplayed and installed some crap that's messing with your ability to extract the audio too. I always disable Autoplay the first time I start using a Windows machine.

Yeah, sounds like there's another problem with the disc--it should have regular CD tracks, too.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

I am running Vista and actually think UAC and secure desktop are good things. I can live with the popups.

I'm thinking the audio and whatever other tracks are in the .mov files and the only way to get them out is by installing their ap. I will install a 3rd part quicktime ap tonight to see if it is able to extract audio files from the .mov's

Dean. I did some searches on the MM site last night and it looks like they still don't handle this format well.
Jay. I will try winamp if the ap I downloaded dosn't work.
Thanks for your help eveyone.

You could always just install Quicktime...
I still think the disc is simply defective. Everything I've heard about enhanced CDs says that they have redbook tracks in addition to computer readable media.
