So a couple of things - I'vetried searching, then browings back to 2014 for this issue. I'm guessing no one uses this program for this?

I'm trying to convert a commerical audio cd to .flac files using the 'convert' feature. P2G does not recognize the cd source as having data ( I guess).

Also - how to pre-populate the tracks? I have both media monkey and exact audio copy - and both of those have found and populated the track listing.

I've never used P2G for this purpose - and thought I'd give it a try since I bought it. But (I'm probably missing something) but this seems to be a labor intensive effort comparitiyvly. What am I missing?

a few more screenshots . . . the first shot - if the source window is expanded - shows "a audio disk" in drive,

the rest show the other programs retrieving the data (from the web) and inserting it.

What flavor is your P2G? P2G 13 will both import and export Flac files. Of course, P2G will import the disc files unless the disc is somehow protected. Have you looked at the help files?

I guess that after rereading your question and looking at your screen shots, I'm confused. Perhaps someone else can help.

P2G is v11.

When I try to select the cd drive as the source of files to be converted - it finds nothing to convert. Which makes me think I first have to import/copy the disk using some other function, then go there for the source file to be comverted. If that's the case - that's way to complicated and wasteful of space.

Wow, Dire Straits, I like it.

You should use audio cd ripping function of power2go instead of using audio converter.

audio converter cannot recognize music track in audio cds.
