In this case I will investigate doing the cdda2wav portion on a different machine and then writing it on the machine I have been using as that drive seems to be the only one that will still generate CDs playable in my car. I'm not completely convinced this is a drive problem but it won't hurt to be careful about where each step is done and do some comparisons of the files. Thanks a lot for your help. I'm traveling for the next few days and won't look at this again until Monday orTuesday. Have a great weekend. cheers, Mark
