Well the only files large enough to hold the music were the program 
cdextra.exe and another file called faceplate.dxr, net search found 
nothing on the dxr. extension.
I decided to drag a copy of the whole disc onto my hardrive to tinker 
with and lo and behold both of the above files shrunk in transit. Now 
when I click on the 
cdextra.exe program it opens, I click on music files, Win Media player 
comes up and says "No data or disc loaded".
