Re: SCSI CDRW Some motherboards don't like to boot off SCSI CDROM/CDRW/DVD. Just in case the issue might come up for you. OS installs, and all that. Dan

Darbes, In the process on starting a radio station run off computers, I learned a lot about compression, CD burning, sound cards, players etc. I learned the most about compression and burning CDs from sites dedicated to the same. Most are run by young guys...like Paul Ma...These guys are good. Paul obviously has experience. Nero burning ROM (catchy name eh? )and Clone CD are just like he said. Sometimes you can get by some copy snags by copying programs to your HD first, then burning them even if direct burning stops cold...as described by Paul. If you rip songs I recommend Audiograbber and/or EAC (Exact Audio Copy) Not that these are the only two. If you encode MP3s I recommend the latest iteration of a program called "LAME"...especially for 192k bit rates and higher and/or one of the Fraunhofer iterations...like Audioactive production studio or Producer Pro 2.0...as good as LAME under 192 but LAME is better over 192. Lame you don't have to pay for. Interestingly the source code of LAME is similar to Fraunhofer who has the patent but the patent for some reson doesn't cover the source code so it can be legally distributed. You can find .dll and .exe forms of LAME on the net however. Should you be interesting MP2, what a lot of radio stations use, QDesign makes a probably the best encoder. I won't even get into AAC or Liquid Audio or .wma. You need a player? Winamp is the standard...maybe not the best sounding but pretty easy to use. Jim
