Thanks to all that replied and the software suggestions and helpful hints. I
downloaded CDex, but had trouble getting it to work with my CDROM/CDRW. I
have a Samsung ATAPI CDRW that it would not recognize. It also would not
recognize my older TEAC SCSI CDROM. It would only work with my YAMAHA SCSI
CDRW. I was able to rip a song, so the software did work. I then moved on to
dbPoweramp. It recognized all three drives and allowed me to rip a track
from the ATAPI Samsung CDRW.

I still need to try burning the songs to a CD (I have Roxio EasyCD
v.5/basic). On a second computer I have a Liteon CDRW (48x24x48x) that came
with a version of Nero that will only work on that drive. Any advise on the
relative merits of the Samsung SW248b (48x16x48x) with EasyCD creator vs.
the Liteon (am am unsure of the actual model number) with Nero?

Thanks for the help and looking forward to additional comments.
