Have another plain CD writer to play things. This also gives the advantage that you can copy items from one to the other. Also preserve the burner by not using the unit so much for normal reading. Anyway, it is an arrangement I have on a PC and wish I had room for in my 7600. When I come back for my second life, I would have a 9600. (But, in this life, next is G4 or 5 time for me).
