[pchelpers] Re: Virtual CD 3

Hi Jo...

Rather than playing the CD from an image on a "virtual" drive, why don't you
simply rip the tracks from the CD and convert to MP3 or WMA?  One then wouldn't
need to store a CD image on one's hard drive... which is probably in the
neighborhood of 600MB - 700MB in size.  With MP3, ripping/converting at 128KB,
the combined size of all the tracks would be roughly 1/10th the size of your
current CD image.

Just a thought.
