Get Here We Are to play in your car!!!

Before I begin, let me just put out a disclaimer saying I did this on a Windows 2000 computer.

Okay here's how you do it:
Put the CD in, and exit out of the screen that pops up.
Go to My Computer and right click on the D drive or whatever drive your CD drive is.
Open the assets folder
The next page should show "movie" and "projects"
Right click on "movie" and scroll over "Open With" and click on whatever your music player is on your computer (For me it's iTunes)
It should copy into your library.
Now rip the rest of the CD onto your music player
Put the movie and the CD on a playlist and burn!

At least for me, iTunes converted Here We Are into an audio track and burned it so that Here We Are is song #1 for me when I listen in the car!

The file format is different. iPods play MP4 or M4A/M4V (not sure on this one). The file on the CD is MOV.

Edit: There are a few ways to convert the file so you can play it on your iPod.
Through Quicktime, I've never done this though. Also, in iTunes you can right-click the video file and select "Convert Selection for iPod". There is also plenty of third party software out there. Check your PMs.

i ripped this to MP3 using Total Recorder... sounds great.

by the way, i think this is one of the better songs on the album.

This wasn't to listen on your iPod. It was meant so that you can burn a CD and listen in to it in a CD player such as one in your car. Sorry for any confusion.

several questions about this

Was it on a PC or a Mac?
What version of iTunes?

I got it to convert to an AAC file on the PC but had to do it manually. The Mac doesn't have a selection for AAC only convert to iPod. The Mac is using 7.0.1 and the PC is using 7.0.0.70

I tried this last night and even though I'm a neanderthal when it comes to computers, it worked. I imported the video file to my iPod (couldn't play the video because I don't have a video iPod) then converted it to an AAC file and deleted the video. I listened to it on the train on the way to work this morning and it sounded great.

I got it to work on the Windows version but not the Mac version. If it's doable on the Mac version it's much more cryptic.

How do you convert to an AAC file? I haven't been able to get it onto my iPod (also not video), only burn the audio to CDs.

It was one of the options iTunes gave me after I imported the video file.

BTW, I have no clue what an AAC file is. All I know is the video wouldn't play on my non-video iPod so when I saw the option to convert to AAC I clicked yes and it worked.

AAC (I believe stands for Advanced Audio Codec, or something) is a music file format, like MP3 or WMP.

Yes, that's pretty much the same as I found...

AAC = "Advanced Audio Coding" and is being promoted as a successor to MP3. Supposedly it compresses better then MP3, yet sounds better. AAC is the audio counterpart of the audio/video format known as MPEG-4 or MP4.

The iTunes store sells copy-protected versions of AAC and MP4, and so these file types like to find their way onto iPods.
