Great idea. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I have made copies of CD, one complete copy of them without picking just certain tracts and making compilation CD, so this sounds just like what I would need. Again thanks for the friendly help and suggestions. It is nice to find a list where people help and are willing to remember that there are those that haven't had as much experience as others might have had. Appreciate it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
