I'm beginning to believe that most ATAPI drives actually support reading the raw data from the cd, even if they don't tell the driver that they do. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sick of carrying 20 cd's into work every week when I could just store them all as mpegs! Steve. Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
