Thanks for your clear explanation. I guess I never discriminated between the
two because my use is primarily transferring data to a CD or from a CD.
CDBurnerXP does a great job in both directions. I have not tried it for audio
or changing file formats.
The next lug meeting would be tomorrow night, but I believe that has not been
called due to low attendance. I am going out of town for a few days. So I
could bring them to the warehouse when I get back or bring them to the next
Saturday meeting in SJCPL.
I think these are OEM, but not sure. Most are in their original wrappers.
Some are for loading printer drivers and these are opened I think.

Sorry, I should have explained. Ripping is the process of copying the audio
tracks from the CD to the computer's hard drive. It also usually entails
changing the file format to something like wav, mp3 ogg, etc. Burning on the
other hand is the process of taking data from the hard drive and writing it to
a writable CD (or DVD) It may be written as data or converted to an audio CD
format or an ISO CD image before being burned depending on the requirements.
There are packages that do both but as far as I know none are open source.
We can take the motherboard and the CDs at the warehouse. or you can bring them
to the next lug meeting. Are the Windows disks OEM (came with a computer) or
retail disks?
