Question for CD Experts - How to get Win 10 to see Enhanced section on 2006 Music CD?

Windows 10

ASUS VivoBook 15

ASUS External Slimline USB DVD-RW

How do I get Windows 10 to see, and allow access to the enhanced section of two different CD Singles from 2006.

These CD Singles have a Enhanced section (as well as the normal music) that contains user accessable Videos, Pictures and Artist related software that the user can copy to thier computer.

When I insert either CD in my external DVD-RW windows 10 sees the audio files but not the enhanced section and auto-run does not work.

So there are no misunderstandings, the Enhanced data sections should show in Windows as a folder like the one below from a 2009 CD Single

I have many other CD Singles from 2009 onwards and the work fine.

I have tried using apps like CDClone, ISO Buster, IMG Burn to make a image and try and open the enhanced part from my disk drive but none of these programs see the enhanced/data sections.

When I drop the Cue file from IMG Burn onto Notepad it shows that a data track does exist...

CATALOG 0602517130500
FILE "Image.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 AUDIO
ISRC GBUM70501024
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
ISRC GBUM70604742
INDEX 00 03:35:68
INDEX 01 03:37:51
TRACK 03 AUDIO
ISRC GBUM70605076
INDEX 00 06:54:23
INDEX 01 06:56:06
TRACK 04 DATA
ISRC GBUM70604743
INDEX 00 11:03:26
INDEX 01 11:05:09

Also in case it helps, the following information is taken from a file one one of the later CDs that do work

"The PC version also includes an autorun.inf file which makes the U-MYX player automatically launch when the disk is inserted.

What Will We Deliver?

We can deliver a single-session hybrid disk which contains two separate data layers – one for Windows computers and another one for MacOS computers. Because the disk has two data layers (ISO and HFS), Windows users will not see the MacOS executable (and likewise, MacOS users will not see the Windows executable).

What is the Next Step?

When you have received the disc from us you will need to supply it to your manufacturers, they can then combine the enhanced session that we have created with the audio data from your CD (creating an Enhanced CD). If your manufacturers require any further assistance, please put them in contact with us."

Thanks.

Very likely to incorporate some kind of copy protection that obfuscates the data section.

SwordofWhedon thank you for your reply.

I considered that but in the Read Me.pdf's of the later post 2006 ones I can access correctly it states that incase of playback issues such as audio glitching, it is recomended that you copy the files to a folder on your hard drive and run them from thier. This indicates that a user is supposed to have access, otherwise how else could they copy the files if they were experiencing audio glitches.

There must be experts on here who know about CD's , they may not be in widespread use but some still use them?

Hello "Goatsnatcher"

I am still hoping that we will have the ability to rip our music CDs into the Xbox One, but I'm not too optimistic about it seeing as how music CDs are now considered "ancient".

To rip music from a CD it must be a standard audioCD, the type you can play in any CD player. You can do this by going to the Music Library, select the CD as the source and then the Rip CD option.

You can't trandfer music from an MP3 player or a MP3 disc.
