Thanks Ted,

I wondered what options there are to to burn CD's 'without'. That is, what
consitutes non- packet-writing... would it be....

1) Begin in WMP, and import the song (mp3) into a list, then burn from
there? Would this be [ ]packet or [ ]non-packet writing?

2) Use something like Roxio CD creator? Would this be [ ]packet or
[ ]non-packet writing?


3) ______other

Thanks,
George
