I want to make a backup of a Gold Disc that I have, so I can play the backup disc and store the original. I used to be able to do this on my Window XT based PC, but for some reason I can't on my Mac. I use the disc utility to make a disc image, then copy the disc image to a blank disc. Whether I use a CDR or a CDRW, neither of my players can play the songs. One of them recognizes the songs on the CDR and trys to play them. Even though it shows which selection is playing and elapsed time, no sound is produced. My other player sees nothing on the CDRW, and although is 'sees' information on the CDR is displays the word 'data'. It shows elspsed time, but again no sound is produced. I'm stumped. The file types on the discs are .aiff files, which I believe are the same file types as on the original disc.
Ay ideas?
Thanks!

...importing the disc into iTunes, creating a playlist folder of the selections and copying it to CD?
Well, yes I tried, but not the right way.
Duhhh!
Maybe I should read up on how to use Itunes.
I figured it out this morning and got it to work. It was easy.
Thanks for your help!

You use toast? Really?
You have an audio box?
I don't.
I honestly can't figure out what you are talking about. Sorry.
Are you sure you are using a MacIntosh running OS X?
You could simply download Toast for Mac, free, and try it. That would answer your questions.
I couldn't find any free downloads of Toast for Mac. Just purchase downloads, and free downloads for windows. But I did find a free download for a program called Burn, which is simple and gives great results.
I guess my big disconnect was not realizing that additional software was needed for burning audio discs, aside of what was already on my Mac. Four years ago when I had a Windows PC, I did have CD/DVD burning software but for some reason I did not realize that I would need to go the same route on my Mac.
All is well now. Thanks for your reply.
Umm, Google said that was for free, but maybe not. I googled on "Toast with Mac"
OK. I didn't know that Toast was the name of a program.
I thought you were putting me on.
I'll look for it.
Ha!-
Yep Toast Titianium burn Software us Maccas were weened on it as the original burn in
for Macs was crap. If you are going to burn lotsa CDs The program will pay for itself in no
time--it will save you TIME.
It is worth the admission
Guess I put the gate before the Horse(?)
