An update on the non-ejecting business. I don't have supermount enabled, so that can't be it. The other suggestions have not worked, either. BUT, after burning a few more CDs, it seems that I only have this problem when I use "-overburn". So until I can eject after overburning, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Todd
