trouble importing Akai CDs

trouble importing Akai CDs

2005-11-14 by the_shawnellis

I searched the messages, but found nothing, so:

I am having trouble importing some Akai CD-ROMs in the Logic Express EXS sampler 
(convertor doesn't recognize the CD when I insert it).  Some of the CDs have demo audio 
tracks on them, so could this cause the problem?

Thanks!

Problem might be caused not by demo audio tracks but by being a multi
format CD if there is PC or MAC software on there. I remember having to
get an older CD driver and install when I had this problem but that was
when I had a dual G4 and OS9.

The following is from the timespace.com sitesupport section FAQs:

Why won't my MAC recognise my mixed-mode (e.g. Audio+Akai) Sample CDs?

This is most likely because you are running OS9 or later. You will need 
to change the Apple CD/DVD Driver Extension for an earlier version. 
Apple changed this driver with OS9 and as a result, your MAC will only 
see the audio partition of mixed-mode CDs. The driver is available from 
us via email.
