Hmmm, I hadn't heard this either. I know that this has nothing to do
specifically with Goldwave, but I did confront a somewhat frustrating
problem when using CDEX to rip from cds with my HP external USB drive
for the first time. I was trying to make use of the HP driver with
CDEX, and ultimately realized that I needed to use the generic
setting in order to do the ripping process properly. It seems that
the multiple driver choices in CDEX are meant for internal drives,
not USBs. What would happen when trying to rip, I would end up with a
sizable file, but complete silence. When going back to the generic,
perfect rip. Maybe I'll have to give this a go with Goldwave. I've
just never felt the need to do so before. In fact, I never even knew
that you could do ripping with that program

Howdy,
Thank you. I wrote to Goldwave, hoping they could help.
I didn't know that you can't use an external USB CD drive with
Window's XP. Just in case anybody ever has the same problem, I have
pasted Goldwave's answer to my problem.
Here it is:
"Do you have an external USB CD drive and are you using Windows
XP? There is a known problem with the USB driver in Windows XP that
can cause the computer to crash. You'll need to use other CD
software, like iTunes or Windows Media Player to copy audio from a
CD on such computers."

Hi, Mark and List,
Just to be sure we're on the same page, go to tools by pressing alt-that.
Then select cd Reader and press "enter."
From what you write, that's what you're doing. I wonder if perhaps you're
running Windows 7 and using a version of Goldwave which is not compatible
with that operating system.
If this isn't the problem, I have to guess that your copy of the program
is corrupted. Get another copy and uninstall the current copy before
installing the new download.
I rip cds occasionally and have no difficulty.

Howdy,
I just got Goldwave, and I am still learning how to use it. I tried to
rip a CD, using the Goldwave CD reader. When I hit enter on the "menu
item" CD reader, my computer made a very strange noise, and then
restarted. I tried it several times with the same result. I am pretty
new at this computer stuff, but I really don't think it is an operator
problem. I hope someone can help.
Mark
