However, it works fine >with data CDs although the "music" isn't too enjoyable... There is a fundamental problem with your entire strategy. CD disks are built with an encoding written onto the disk which specifies whether you can read data off the disk in digital format or not. on CD-rom disks are obviously set to "true", with audio CDs having the bit set to "false" The implementor of the drive, of course, is free to ignore this specification. However, the only one I've heard of that does is the one shipped by SGI. -- Sean T. Lamont | "Don't oppress me, It's zeno@genetics.washington.edu | 'computer of color!'
