Hello David,
I’d add to this that before copying the book to the card, it’s important to
make sure the cds are named consistently. I’ve known plenty of instances of
multible CD titles which bring back, say:
“The da Vinci Code – CD1”, “The da Vinci Code disc 2”, “Tha da Vinci Code (3 of
10) … or whatever. If the names were left like that, they could play in an odd
order.
2. Tracks on the CD should be numberd “01, 02, 03…10”. I learned to my
frustration and embarrassment recently, that albums without the zero in front
of single digit numbers might play track 10, track 11, track 1, track 2, and so
on. I’ve now got this sorted in Express Rip so that the numbering automatically
happens as I want it. I leave others to say whether this can be done easily in
CDEX.
Best,
Clive

If it is on 10 CDs then almost certainly the book is in original cdaCDA If it
is no on 10 cds the book will not be in mp3 format and you will need to rip and
encode the content off there first.
1. Make sure that you have your CDs in order. This might entail playing them
initially for a few seconds. If you are lucky they will say disk 1 etc. If not
you may need sighted help to make sure you have them in order.
2. Load your CDex program.
2. Put your first CD in the drive. If you are extremely lucky if you go to the
CDDB menu and select read from remote database you might find the book details
inserted for you but this is not so likely with Audio books.
3. Assuming that you are not lucky then tab to the CDex fields and under
Artist put the Book Author, under album Book name and disk number and if you
want you can also put spoken as genre and the year.
4. Make sure that all tracks are selected by pressing control in the track
list and then press F9 to start the process of ripping and encoding into mp3.
5. Repeat this for each disk but of course changing the disk number in the
album field.
Depending on which version of CDex you have the results will be a folder in
either the CDex directory version My Music or your main My Music folder wit a
folder with the Book Author, which 10 folders of mp3 files from each disk
within this.
You can either play these a disk at a time in your Book player or my preference
is to use Bulk rename to place a prefix at the beginning of all the mp3 file in
a folder. So all the disk 1 files start with 01, all the disk 2 files start
with 02 and so on. This means that you can them copy all the files into a
single book folder which you can transfer as one complete book and it will play
in order.
Ask if you need help with bulk rename utility.

Hello
I seem to be having a senior moment. A friend has given me a commercial audio
book that is on 10 CD’s I want to copy these onto one SD card to listen to on
my VRS. i have a variety of software, Goldwave-CDEx-Express Rip and Express
burn to name some. Alternatively a copy and paste I would have thought a copy &
paste would work but nothing I do does.
Can someone help me get the brain into gear again please.
Roger
