Yes, it was Direct CD - sorry. It took a little while to sort it out, but in the end I got there and it was 99% reliable - just the occasional buffering problem. Incidentally, I had to drop the write speed on the CD burner to 2x instead of 4x under XP, using the inbuilt Cd software, otherwise I got an error message - but only after some weeks of use. Weird, inn'it?
