I have music CDs I would like to 'compile from' onto collection discs so I would
be playing only the songs I want to hear. I have many burning apps like Nero
express, deep burner, CDburnerXP pro3, NTI CD and DVD maker Gold, CDex
(haven't tried it yet), CloneCD, and a nice new Asus burner. Yet there seems to
be no capability to directly copy selected tracks as the original CDA type, rather,
the programs go right to making .wav files... anyone know what can be done?
Not out to pirate or share or distribute, just compilations for myself.

There is no such thing as a "CDA type". The "CDA" you see means "CD
audio" and it is merely a representation of the fact that there is a track
of audio in the table of contents of that disc. It is not a file that can
be copied; it must be extracted (ripped) and the format that preserves its
contents most easily and universally on a PC is a .WAV file.
To make your compilation, extract the tracks you want as .WAV files and
then use your burning software to transfer them to a compilation disc.

Well it used to be. I used to copy discs in selections of songs as CDA, not wav.
Now all the software has changed!

Exact Audio Copy is a great audio ripper, and it's free.

I owe you a gourmet pizza and a six pack for that suggestion... several days ago I had
remembered this program I used to use some years ago for making great wav files, spent
a couple hours looking for it but could not remember the name for the life of me...

You already have one of my favorite programs for ripping - CDex! This
little gem can rip to .wav, .mpe, .ogg, whatever you want. You can even
copy the entire program folder to a flash drive and run it without
installing on any Windows 2000 or better computer you want. Once you
have ripped the tracks to .wav or .mp3 you can use any burner software
to compile compilations. I would suggest deepburner portable version and
you can keep both software programs on your flash drive and rip and burn
whereever you happen to be.

Yeah... I suppose the "software" aspect of making software music files is easy enough,
however I do not use a flash drive, or that purpose. .Mp3 is is not my goal. I want
compilation discs of the original music cd type, which is .cda, that you buy as a new
music cd in a store. This was done by selecting which tracks I want, simply directly
copied to a blank recordable cd rom disc. Can't do it like I used to, as all the softwares
I have that I can my hands on will only automatically start to make .wav files, for ****'s
sakes. Thanks.
