Audio Probs, importing audio Options

[toneytone]

Hallo -just set up home studio using IMAC G4 ..My recording platform is LOGIC EXPRESS, Im trying to using some audio samples from music cds .
When ever i import the audio off the cd into the Logic as an audio track it only stays there as part of a sequence only as long as the cd frm which i took the sample is still in the computer .When i try to retieve the song at a later date it says whilst program is loading "audio not found " and subsequently i cant play back the audio in my song as i sampled it-Can anyone pleeese help, I am new to this...Thanks T java script:emoticon(':crazy:')

here's a related tip:

before doing any of that- pull down EDIT menu, click on SELECT UNUSED.
then in the same menu, select CUT or CLEAR. NOT DELETE.
now you won't be copying any files you decided not to use. depending on how many files you loaded but didn't use, you could be saving a lot of storage space.
