-=PCTechTalk=- Copying music cds in Win Xp

My experience with CD burning and copying is limited - especially with XP
Home. I have downloaded MP3 files from the Internet and put them on a CD. I
have made a copy of program CDs at the office using Roxio CD Copier. My
sister and I both have new PCs with XP Home, a CD-ROM drive, a CD-R drive,
and Roxio Easy CD Creator. She wants to make a copy of a music CD. My
limited understanding in this is that you need a "cd-ripper" program to
first get the tracks off of the music CD and onto your hard drive as MP3
files. Then, once you have the MP3 files you can put them on a CD. She is
telling me that XP should be able to do this without any other software -
that it's built into the OS. I didn't think you could just copy a music CD
the way you can a program CD or a CD that has other data files on it (such
as Word docs, .jpgs, etc.). Can anyone shed light on this for me? I know I
would understand it perfectly if I were 20 years younger. :-)

Thanks,
Robin
