52 In this case I will investigate doing the cdda2wav portion on a
53 different machine and then writing it on the machine I have been using
54 as that drive seems to be the only one that will still generate CDs
55 playable in my car.

57 I'm not completely convinced this is a drive problem but it won't hurt
58 to be careful about where each step is done and do some comparisons of
59 the files.

61 Thanks a lot for your help. I'm traveling for the next few days and
62 won't look at this again until Monday orTuesday. Have a great weekend.
