So ive been in the process of getting my cd collection and others onto my computer. well i ran into one very interesting cd of mine
Monster Magnet's "Dopes to Infinity" well there is 12 tracks to this cd.
Windows media player reads 11
real player says there is 12 tracks but the first one is a data track but has a time on the length of the song.
Ati just skips right to the 2nd song.
in the windows media it says some cds are done in analog instead of digital so i switched to analog to see if it would even read it.. nope
any ideas? up until now ive just been downloading the song off soulseek but i have to rename every track as it labels them wrong.
i searched but i could not find

I don't know that particular CD, but a lot of music CDs nowdays have data tracks on them that bands will use to put music videos, links to their website, etc. on. These show up in certain rippers as song tracks with no information, others as data tracks, so on.

I prefer ripping my CDs using CDex - and highly recommend using it. As for how many tracks the CD truly has, check the back of the CD or Amazon, or www.freedb.org
