The only time it did for me, was when I was using a third party program:- Pretty Pop Music and Software- PopCd http://member.nifty.ne.jp/prettypop/ Also, my previous email I had neglected to set the Hobbes search to search the ENTIRE archive, the default is to search the directory that you start in. For me that is always \pub\incoming. If anyone else wants Sysbar/2 then the most current version is there on Hobbes after all. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/sbr2_017.zip Sorry for confusion.

I had read somewhere that not all drives will "rip" tracks correctly. I ended up with (cheap and cheerful) Mitsubishi Diamond drives and had no further problems. Have you tried ripping tracks from DOS - boot the PC from a DOS boot disk with CD support and then run one of the small DOS utilities. If that also gives problems then it's the drive for sure.

It works fine on my system and the autoplay remains off when I change CD's. I just checked before writing this. If the CD player is not closed properly ie. power failer or a hot boot situation, then it will revert to the last set of options including track position or will even lose the last track position and start from the begining of the CD. Try setting your options then close the player and start her up again to see if the options are being saved.

The CD drive must be capable of Audio Digital Transfer to pipe through the bus rather than the audio cable to the soundcard. I know this does effect creating MP3's but I'm not sure about audio track burning. An old rule for audio tracks was that they had to be burned at 1x to avoid jittering. These days there seems to be alot of dejittering software that allows for higher speed burning of audio tracks.

Rsj has an option to correct that while burning, the CD-record/2 combo hasn't, that's why I finally opted for the expensive way. Also be sure there aren't fingerprints and/or oddities like that on the source. Very important is that. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris 13============================================= Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2001 17:43:35 +1000 From: Daryl Pilkington Subject: Re: [os2genau] CDRecord/2 - the tale continues Hi Mike, Unfortunately, known problem with many CD-ROM drives:- they simply don't rip properly. When I was a LAN administrator, I'd actually only purchase CD-ROM drives tested to rip properly. Can people on the ListServ suggest some current models that rip reliably that Mike could buy?
