I want to rip Audio from my external CDR ( actually it is a internal CDR in a USB2.0 Box ).
Is that possible??
Becuase Cdex does not seems to detect there is such CD rom exist......


And i have a hi fi system and a VCD/MP3/CD player. The VCD/MP3 player came with a cable with three colours.. ( i think is yellow, red and white... )
And i think it is used to plug into the Tv when playing VCDs. However i saw a slot at the back of my hi fi there is a "AUX" slot in red and white. I try to plug the line in with the associated colour. ( i.e leaving the yellow out ) and to my surprise i linked my VCD/MP3 player to my hifi!!!!

Is this how i was suppose to do and use?? Would that damage my hifi or VCD/Mp3 player??

Since that works i now try to plug line input from my VCD/Mp3 player to my laptop. But only one speaker seems to work. The other doesn't. ( but when i plug it back to my mp3 player both speaker is working so this suggest that the speaker is not broken )
Why is that??

And does pluggin into my laptop damages my hifi or Laptop??

And finally i only have "1 sets" of AUX input slot in my Hifi but i want both my VCD/Mp3 player and my Laptop to have sound out from my hifi. How would i do that??


Thx in advance

It won't damage the player nor the laptop. The in/outs should fit.
I guess that the ouputs are coax (CINCH) while the input is minijack (TRS 3.5mm). The missing channel is certainly a problem in the laptop plug. It affects about 50% of the minijacks/coax adapters. Push, pull and turn until the sound comes back. Check also that the balance is set to middle in the line in volume control of the laptop.

thx.... that answer my secound questions...

But how about ripping music from a External Cd Rom??
