Guest BoazBoaz Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 If I RIP a CD I get a folder with the tracks on it. Beside that I get its JPEG IMAGE files (CD front/back picture) but they are difined as SYSTEM/HIDDEN files. Why ?? Is there a way to RIP these files as normal files (not SYSTEM/HIDDEN files) as defult ?? I do not want to set my PC to see all system files. I indeed want to keep the real system files hidden. Thank you.

Cover art is *not* on the CD itself, so your software must be querying a database someplace to find these things. (MS Media Player does exactly that, it reads an identifying string from the CD, and sends that over the 'Net to a database that MS maintains.) Look through the options settings in your ripping software, but don't be too surprised if you find you don't have a choice about this. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

The Media Player creates these .jpg files, most other software (third-party) doesn't. -- d-d

You should be able to do what you want with iTunes (which is free), no iPod required. iTunes will also record real audio CDs that can be played in a normal (non-MP3) CD player. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ -- ======== Tecknomage ======== Computer Systems Specialist San Diego, CA
