I'm putting together a LAN which will be storing lots of images (sheet music
primarily) so I plan to include a Erasable/WORM optical drive for archival
and a DAT drive for backup.

For Postscript libraries I thought I'd also include a CD-ROM drive.

Question:  Can the CD-ROM and DAT drives read (and write - DAT) standard
		audio formats?

Fantasy: selectively copy music from CD/DAT to WORM (and be able to play it back
		over network??)
	also be able to write this music to DAT

I don't wish to break any copyright laws - I'm hoping that by the time the
system is ready to use in this manner, I'll be able to work something out
legally.  However, I need the hardware for data storage now.  So, I want
to get hardware that eventually can do both if it is possible.

Thanks for any insight!
