we have put all our cds/cdgs on to hard drive for back up in case anything happened and now it has ...last night case with all cds and mikes got stolen from a show we did..but now how the heck do we get all tracks back onto cd know it will cost alot with blanks but lot less than all new
any help pleeeeese

At this point I would get another hard drive and back up the first.

Depending upon the number of tracks you have I would consider shifting to a computer format. Burning takes software such as Cdr-Win or Cd  Clone. It is just as time consuming as ripping.

Hopefully you had insurance to replace the cd's.

Oh man, I'm so sorry!

to be honest, you CAN'T legally do it. You have no proof of ownership on the cds!

That's why I keep my original discs at home, and take the computer out. And yes, that's not technically legal.

I do feel your pain. I had a TON of Pioneer DVDs stolen from me a few years ago!

Depends on what format the files on the PC are.  Post back with the file format and someone should be able to assist.

even tho i have most of the rec for disc insurance not payin out because they was taken from the car and not the van which has the business insurance on...argggggggggggg ...van was havin mot hence use car .....
the format theyare in now are zipped file...to save space..on hard drive...
knightshow....took comp as well but always take disc and player has a back up ...

ohhhh very scary  :shock:

alison67,

SORRY  for your Loss!
Try to make the best of a bad situation.
Let See! Your Van has the Business/Disc insurance Right?
Then as I recall...
THEY WERE STOLEN FROM THE VAN!

As said above - get another hard drive and make a backup of your digital files NOW!  Like 100% serious - you currently have just 1 copy of all your data and that is a horrible situation to be in.

Also, as said above - if you are worried about the legal side - you now have 100's of MP3/MP3+G that you can't proove you have the right to.  Sucky, but hey.

Now, as for copying - you now have the ability to make up your own CD's/Playlists as you're working digitally.  Consider staying digital?

MOT is an inspection process which vehicles in the UK MUST pass or they're not allowed on the road.  Best not travel down that path or she'll get nailed for sure when they compare reports.

I definitely feel for ya Alison, I had a whole case of SC originals stolen several years ago, many which were out of print (can you say OUCH!).  Best plan, IMO, is to do a backup of your hard drive as well as convert those files and burn back to disc.  Since they were original discs that were stolen make sure you file a police report as well in case industry officials (whoever they are in the UK) happen to come along so you can show proof of possession before they were stolen.

Oops! Sorry!

I thought "MOT"  for short for "Motor"

When you say 'shortening my songs' you mean a recording of your song. And if that is the case, just load the song back to any recording program and cut out the intro and the outro.
