If it can be played, it can be copied... You need a CD player with an S/PDIF output and an S/PDIF-capable sound card based on the CMI8738 chipset - these are cheap, and have a solid S/PDIF implementation capable of bit-perfect copies (many, including Soundblasters, fail on solidity, cheapness or both...) Google for the little gtk app that lets you turn S/PDIF on and off on these cards (not being on my usual box, I don't have the reference to hand). -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
