Just got CoolEdit Pro for our radio station, so I'm trying to set the standards for convenience and use. I was thinking it'd be good to have our sound effects saved as files and cross-referenced by keyword using a database program. That way people could look up a sound effect and simply open it, instead of having to re-record it each time. Then I thought perhaps CoolEdit could already see the tracks as files, if the C.D. was inserted into the computer's C.D. drive. It doesn't look like it does now, but is there a plug-in of some kind, or some other kind of freeware or shareware that can recognize C.D. audio tracks as computer files? It would save a lot of conversion and archiving.

If you are wanting to extract audio files from CD into WAV format (so that Cool EDit can see them) you'll want to use an application that does digital audio extraction or 'Ripping'. Here's a link that offers some direct links for CD Rippers. I also think there are some available from MP3.com...

The best way to do this is "rip" all of the CDs and re-burn them as CD-ROMs with the sound effects as WAV files (named by sound effect) instead of in Audio CD format. Then when you put the Sound Effect Rom into the drive, cooledit would display the names of the wav files. For that matter though, you could just leave the WAV files on the hard drive unless you have to conserve space. But if you keep them as MP3 and get the MP3 plug-in for Cool Edit then you could keep youyr entire library on one CD-ROM or the hardrive.

Hey, I forgot to tell you thanks for the advice! I got that ripper and burned about 8 c.d.'s worth of sound effects in about 4 hours, and most of that time I could be doing something else, instead of manually recording into CoolEdit.
Thanks for the help!
