And as Doug suggested create an image file of the entire disc first. I think this is the default with EAC. It certainly is in copy mode. I've also found that ocassinally I'd run across a CDR from someone else that I could play, but would present problems with Roxio's Easy CD Creator when trying to make a copy. EAC worked every time though on these "problem" discs. On the clicking problem, I've had that happen when I've burned at too high a speed. I seldom try to burn faster than 8X on my older Pentium 3.

A rare evening of music is coming up next Friday... two Scott Miller produced artists on one bill: Friday, April 4 Pete's Candy Store 709 Lorimer Street (Williamsburg) Here's a map: http://petescandystore.com/pete's_map.html 8:00 -- Sabado Domingo 9:00 -- Tris McCall 10:00 -- Milton record release 11:00 -- Paula Carino (with Sir Beard of Drool: Benjoya, Mattina, Sharples) All four artists on this bill are awesome. People on this list would love Milton who is one of rock's great lyricists.. period: http://www.trismccall.net/friends_and_neighbors_0222.html#milton_milton and Sabado Domingo features Dan Skinner of the Sidedoor Johnnies: http://www.trismccall.net/friends_and_neighbors_0222.html#sabado_domingo_fdoor Check out Tris' brand spanking new website, trismccall.net. I've been having alot of fun on it. Steven Matrick ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 12:49:24 -0800 (PST) From: "G. Andrew Hamlin" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Scott Content? Enjoying the site, but what's the current state of the Denver Zest, Tris' band with Jesse Fuchs? I enjoy Tris' musings, thus far anyway, but Jesse was one of the finest rock critics under thirty, way back when I, at least, was under thirty. Then he apparently quit writing to become a rocker. I have the Denver Zest's first album, and I concluded, reluctantly, that I much preferred the writing Jesse. I'll keep reading Tris but my favorite recently-discovered rock critic is still Julian Cope, Andy "She felt more afraid than she had ever felt in her life before, as if she had seen the grim figure of the Black Reaper himself, complete with hour glass and scythe. If the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had ridden through that cellar she could not have intensified her fear, even for them. If 666, the Great Beast, had appeared in its malevolent horror and diabolical fury, her fear could only have remained static. The muzzle of the gun at the back of her neck was like a finger pointing towards eternity." - --from SPECTRE OF DARKNESS by John E. Muller (aka R. Lionel Fanthorpe) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 17:09:09 -0800 (PST) From: me@justanotherfuckin.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Scott Content? > "She felt more afraid than she had ever felt in her > life before, as if she > had seen the grim figure of the Black Reaper himself, > complete with hour > glass and scythe.

Muller (aka R. > Lionel Fanthorpe) i'm sorry, but that has got to be the worst piece of writing i've ever had the misfortune of stumbling across. 'then she had ever felt in her life BEFORE?' quick - more words! relevance is irrelevant! the 'grim figure of the Black Reaper'? jeebus. where do you get these quotes?!?!? brianna - -- recent adventures in tech support at http://www.scenario.com/people/hello/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 00:24:01 EST From: AWeiss4338@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] 40 B-Day.
