Creating a Batch File for Cd2Roland

Creating a PC batch file automates the ripping steps for you once you have everything installed.

1. Open your text editor. Start > All Programs > Accessories > NotePad.

2. Type in “

cd2roland <drive letter>

” where

is your PC's CD drive

letter: For example, if the drive letter is E, type “

Cd2Roland e

”

3. Click File > Save As... then type “

rip.bat

” and press ENTER. (You just created a .bat file.

Now the following is what to do with it.)

4. Copy the Cd2Roland file into the "test" folder you made earlier.

5. Place your newly created .bat file in the same "test" folder with the Cd2Roland file. Close the

folder.

6. Right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut. Click "Browse" and navigate your

way to the "test" folder and select the "rip.bat" file and press ENTER. Rename the desktop

shortcut whatever you like such as, "VS Tracks Ripper."

You have now created a .bat file and a shortcut to it on your desktop. Put a Roland backup CD in

your CD drive and double click on the "VS Tracks Ripper" icon on your desktop and watch the

magic begin.

I had started to make a much more complicated one to automatically make subdirectories for

each backup set based on the PC clock time, but realized that would not work with multiple CD

backups. - Bear

Just remember to move the song directories to somewhere before ripping another backup set, or

the songs from the two backup sets may get jumbled.... there may be a SONG2 on two different

backup sets for instance...

Run all the CDs for one complete backup set, then cut and paste all the SONG directories to

another location, then do the second backup set.

Trouble Shooting

I can open files in Reaper and convert them with no problems, but if I try to play projects

in Reaper, I get static over the audio.

Look in Reaper at Options/Preferences/Audio/Device to see what driver is being used. Change it

to the input and output device setting of your soundcard driver.
