How do you import a hidden track into iTunes?
How do you import the hidden track on "As heard on Radio Soulwax" into iTunes? It (Soulwax remix of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head") comes about four minutes before track 1 and it doesn't show up as an AIFF when you insert the disc into the computer - so where is it and how do you get iTunes to rip it so it can be put into the playlist in the correct position?

I also wanted to do this with the hidden track on White Ladder by David Gray but never found out.

Maybe someone on DS will come up with the solution. |

Is track 1 really long compared to the others?
Perhaps the bonus track is at the beginning of the first track, but there's a long silence before it starts?

Does all that make sense? |

Wish I knew how to do this too - also why some CD players won't read backwards, and some do?

I've had no trouble ripping hidden tracks (such as the one on White Ladder) with Exact Audio Copy, using the "copy range" function. Set start position to 0:00:00.00 and end position to whenever the first track starts (shown in the main window). I've heard that some CD-ROM drives will refuse to read before index 01 of the first track, but I've not had a problem with any of my drives. |

Perhaps Cdex would be capable of it, as it shows the exact time in minutes and seconds that the track is positioned on the CD. Search Cdex on download.com
