...so an audio CD player does play it OK? I've never encountered this problem myself, so don't know about a purely software solution. But, If It Can Be Played, It Can Be Copied... hook up the S/PDIF output of the audio CD player (or the CD-ROM drive) to the S/PDIF input of a suitable sound card, and record a digital copy with the recording app of your choice. A suitable sound card would be one based around the CMI8738 chipset, which are usually cheap, and this chipset does "bit-perfect" S/PDIF recordings. Soundblasters, unfortunately, do not. I think you also need software that lets you turn the S/PDIF input on. There's a little gtk app for this out there somewhere; unfortunately I can't remember what it's called, but GIYF. BTW, "A song in negative space" would make a good track title... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
