• Select Absolute Block Selection to extract part of a track or a segment of audio that spans multiple tracks. In the
Start box, enter the beginning frame. In the Length box, enter the total number of frames you wish to extract.
(Each second of CD audio has 75 frames.) The resulting start and length times appear in Min:Sec:Frame format
to the left of their respective boxes. The range bar provides a graphical representation of how much audio will be
extracted and where the audio appears within the CD.
The option above is great for pulling hidden tracks from CDs, or for joining tracks that have been broken up by track
indexes (such as live performances).
• Select Track to extract one or more complete CD tracks. A list of all tracks on the CD appears, along with their
