Apparently Logic 5.0 could read AKAI cdrom's, but 6.0 (and OSX) won't allow 
the conversion.  I have a friend who uses a workaround via something called 
"CD Xtract" but I don't know the details.  Logic 6 doesn't include the 
functionality yet to convert AKAI samples.....   hopefully soon?

Kerry, thanks for the info but I tried Logic 5 and it does not work. 
My Logic 6 accepts other AKAI cdroms and the issue just concerns 
"Smart Violins" perhaps because of the audio racks. (I use Mac 9.2). 
Does anyone else know the "CD Extract workaround"? Is it possible to 
burn new AKAI CD roms and remove the audio tracks?
