    Well you should see files on the cd when inserted into your computer. Unless for some reason their hidden, if they are you need to turn "View All Files and Folders" on. Anyways...

    Did you mount that image to one of 120%'s virtual drives? Cuz you need to.

    Either the image wasn't created right or there is nothing actually "in" the image. What's the file size of the image?

    I too have created images of music cd's. But when the images are mounted and I open it, my music player runs like normal.

    Have you tried redoing the image? Cuz that might just fix your problem. Let me know how it goes.

    when it was being created i could tell it was reading the songs correctly, it showed the 15 tracks it created. in all the image was around 800 MB. when i open it nothing happens

    That's odd.

    Umm...what version of 120% are you using? If you can update it, try that.

    What are some of your system specs?

    i got a 1.5 ghz with the average stuff for a 1.5

    ok i mounted it and went to the h: drive, it shows the same 3 files that i can open on the regular cd.
    it has starterfile.exe yytwins.mov (media player says its corrupt or doesnt support the format)
    and autorun.inf

    where are you supposed to get the songs?

    Well the yytwins.mov will play in Quicktime. Media Player can't play that file format(maybe with a codec). From the looks of it, it is probably Ying Yang Twins. The autorun.inf is the file that boots the cd when it is inserted into the cd rom. The .exe probably installs the movie or boots it up, I'm not sure.

    About the songs. When I copied the Usher cd, it did the same thing. I couldn't find the songs. But when i put it in a player, it played. There weren't any .cda,.wav,etc files. I didn't understand it, but I guess theres nothing to do about it. To get the files to my computer. I used Creative PlayCenter(it came with my SoundBlaster Audigy X-Gamer Soundcard) to rip the songs to mp3's.

    You could try and find software that will rip the cd to your computer in mp3 file format(or something similiar). Instead of doing a image.

    I want to try and make an image of Usher now. I didn't have 120%(or similiar) back then, and I want to see if it will work. Ill try that when I get out of college today, and post the results here.

    omg im the biggest idiot ever. i was clearing up my media library on my media player, and i figured id see what would happen if i went to copy from cd. well guess what, it had all the songs listed and everything. i download all these programs and all i needed was good ol' media player. wow i feel dumb now, lol.
