[Blank music tracks when ripping Multi-Mode CDs]

Hi I've been in the process of archiving a bunch of my old PC games and a good chunk of them use Multi-Mode CDs. Now basically track 0 is the data track with all the files, and every other track is a dedicated music track. However when I rip the disc It does indeed produce a bin and cue with all of the tracks. However all tracks past the data track are completely blank. I've tested this with a few different disc drives and games that use this method and they all show the same result. Any idea why this may be occurring? I'd give game examples but they none of them are English games.

Generally, issues with freezes on Analysing Tracks are down to the device itself.  As was said, about your best bet is to try another drive, but there's no guarantee it will work, either.

 

Another possible solution is to not use ImgBurn, which kind of defeats the purpose.  I know I've encountered PS 1 games that ImgBurn wouldn't read but Alcohol 120% Free would.  You could try Alcohol and see if that works for this disc.

Yeah I found it odd that all of my discs except for 1 would work fine. I have a slightly different variation of the disc from a different edition of the game and it works fine. I eventually got it ripped but man it was extremely slow. I think it took 8 hours. But thank you anyways.

Trying to rip an old CD here that uses mixed-mode. 1 track for files and the rest for individual music tracks. It starts and instantly stalls at the bottom just saying "Analyzing Tracks... (Session 1, Track 2). The log appears to end right there too with zero notice of what is going on. It has now been running for over 30 minutes without change.
