I've been using CDex for years and it's only met two CDs it could not rip. One of them was a pre-release (Jonatha Brooke's "Back in the Circus") and I could only listen to that in my car, it did work there. The other one I didn't care for so I didn't try to hard to get around it. I just tossed it in the "not going to review" pile. So I consider that pretty good. The problems start when the CD is made so that there are NO "files" on it. CD Ex is great!! http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ ~Amy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 19:24:49 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: Fwd: A message to LAMB fans Lamb news for those interested. - --Neile >Resent-Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 16:40:51 -0700 >Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 18:01:50 -0400 >From: shop@sparklestreet.net >To: neile@sff.net >Subject: A message to LAMB fans > > >Hi neile > >Andy and Lou here.
