I am trying to convert "Real Mega Drums 2" CD ROM (AKAI 1000-3000). It 
is a 2 Disc set of sample hits (programs/samples) and audio demos. Disc 
1 the exs24 converted with 'AKAI Convert' function with no problem. Disc 
2 has 4 tracks of Audio demos and the remainder of the CD are more drum 
programs/samples but every time I insert the CD into the computer ( G4 ) 
it ejects the CD again. I noticed I am only seeing the audio tracks come 
up on the desktop. I'm presuming it's a disc format issue. I have tried 
using CDXtract also but had the same thing happen. Any ideas on how to 
get at those samples would be much appreciated.

Paul.

Is Disk 2 a Mixed Mode disk? Does the docs say that Disk 2 is really an 
Akai disk (or has Akai data)? If not, what file format are the samples 
supposed to be in?

Are you on OS9? If so, see the FAQ about Mixed-Mode Akai CD's. If OSX, 
perhaps there are no "samples" on the CD. For another look, try downloading 
Translator Free and see if that does the same thing.
