I believe any PC CD drive, like a CD-R/W drive should be able to play audio CDs. You might have to have an audio cable hooked up to the CD-drive and your soundcard, but I think you can play audio-CDs with just an IDE connection.
So do you want to copy your audio-CDs to CD-R or CD-RW? Logan

The two main burning programs that I know of (Nero and Easy CD Creator) have a wizard to help you setup how to burn your CD.
Do you have Nero or Easy CD Creator? Do you only have a CD-RW, or a CD-RW and another drive? Logan |

Ripping
I think you said you wanted to be able to copy files from a cd then make new cds. The answers you got so far are how to make copies of cds with software.
I use a freeware program called CDex and it will "rip" a track from a cd and save it on your hard drive. You can rip just one song or all the songs on the cd. You can choose to save it as a wav file format or a mp3 format. It works pretty easy. I believe it copies the song to c:\windows\temp. Just click and expand those new directories till you find your mp3 file. Then you can rename the file to the name of the song. http://www.cdex.n3.net/ is the address for the free software. any questions write taco_fan@yahoo.com Alan |

If you only have the single drive, "ripping" with CDEx is the best way. Create a new folder for your "rips" and keep them in .wav format if you are going to be making a compilation, that way you don't lose quality compressing them to .mp3 then re-expanding them to .cda, which is the same as .wav.
I've never used the Sony software so I can't be more specific. |
