the changes included.

take the cd out of the burner, and hit the copy button. You may get the
error message to insert a cd. Do this and then press copy.

music as data (it gave the downside of doing this, but left the decision to
me - how unmicrosoft!). I said yes, and it made accurate copies, bypassing
WMP. The only bad thing about this was when I put the cd into the drive to
play, the contents registered as .cd1 (1.cd? I forget), .cd2, etc, but the
player recognized the music. If I want to get Monk-ish about it, I can
always rename.

No quite sure what I did the first time (or the second time either), but I
managed to get it to copy for a second time (so it's managed to burn two CDs
so far). I've tired ejecting and reinserting, using a brand new CD-R, and
even restarting my computer... the only thing I did different I think was
that I had the CD-R opened as a window in Explorer... wonder if that did
anything.
Okay getting kinda OT here but what programs out there allows me to burn a
bunch of randomly picked tracks onto a CD-R (as data-CDs)? I use WMP for
it's autolist and copying features. It works fine with my MP3 Player, but
it doesn't seem to like burning to CDs. I would manually copy files onto
the CD-Rs myself, but I'd rather have a surprise collection of songs waiting
for me when I turn my CD player on...
