If you want to listen to your CDs via digital out, then you have an issue (and I have no idea where to get such cable - as I work a lot with computers I've got my hands on a lot of differnet CD-ROM units, but none had such cable included - so you're probably on a Do-It-Yourself path now). But if you just want to record from CDs (as to create MP3 files), you should consider CDDA reading. It's much faster. :) D. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have such a cable. Picked it up from our local pc supplier. This would not help you as I am in South Africa :-) The digital cable cuts out a LOT of noise. Like the man said, go for DIY. A cable like that should be very easy to make. But if you just want to record from CDs (as to create MP3 files), you should consider CDDA reading. It's much faster. :) It is fine for recording, but for normal playback it is not worth the cpu time, even on a 1.4 Ghz system. (We've done test on ORDINARY 1.4 Ghz systems, at it uses at least 10% of the cpu time) Cheers Gerard Naude Programmer - Universal Knowledge Software E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: . digital cd-rom to soundcard cable
Hello MD people, I've been trying to find a cable so I can feed audio from my CD-Rom to my new soundcard digitally. The PC came with the analog CD-Rom to soundcard cable, but no digital because the original sound output device didn't have digital out. I've gone to two CompUSA stores in the area and neither have the digital cable. This is not an optical cable. It's a small cable that goes from the back of the CD-Rom to a thing on the soundcard. It looks similar to the analog CD-Soundcard cable but it's smaller. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Any idea where I can order one? //future-shock/ http://www.wam.umd.edu/~payvand [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
