Extracting audio from CDs
Extract CD tracks with the Extract Audio From CD command
The Extract Audio From CD command is faster and provides more control, including the ability to optimize drive
speed and rename tracks.
1 Place an audio CD in the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 Choose File > Extract Audio From CD.
3 For Drive, choose the drive that contains the audio CD.
4 For Speed, choose from all the extraction speeds that the selected drive supports. The Maximum Speed option
usually produces satisfactory results, but if it produces errors, specify a slower speed.
5 Do any of the following:
• To preview a track, click its Play button.
• To include or exclude tracks, click the checkboxes to the left of track numbers, or click Toggle All.
• To rename a track, double-click it.
Extract CD tracks with the Open command (Mac OS)
The Open command lets you extract tracks in AIFF format but requires Audition to continue reading audio data from
CD, slowing importing and editing.
1 Place an audio CD in the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 Choose File > Open.
3 Choose QuickTime as the file type, and navigate to the CD-ROM drive.
4 Select the tracks you want to extract, and click Open.
