I agree with you about Windows Media being hard to use for ripping and 
burning, and I think that technique of bringing files to the CD RW drive 
will work.  But suppose you want to unselect a file that you don't want 
included on the CD?  How do you do that.  For example, I want to burn a CD 
for a friend by combining 2 music CD's onto 1 CD because there is a lot of 
overlap between them.  How do I unselect the songs I don't need?  73.
