How do you extact individual samples from certain Sample CDs?

I've recently gotten a number of sample CDs that look and sound great. The only problem is, they are reading as audio tracks (Music CDs). I've tried CDXtract 4, with no luck (although I have been able to get a couple other CDs working). I think the problem is they might have multiple sessions, but ISObuster doesn't seem to think so.

Will I have to go through these 5 minute songs and pick out the samples (these are basically demo songs, with no sounds being played individually, so that's tuff work)

Any help would be awesome!

If youre sample cd's are audio cd's, then you will have to record the sounds from it. If the sample cd's have a certain format, like Akai, Emu or Roland, then you must read them with your sampler or with something like Cdextract.

Have you tried creating an iso image of the files. Otherwise, you may have to just record the cd. Then find the samples you want out of it and trim them, then save them as individual files for later use.
