Further to this, I was now able to burn a audio CDR in JetAudio by choosing
the IMAPI (Image Mastering API) of Windows XP, i.e. overriding the default
Direct Control SCSI command.
I see that IMAPI v2 has been released, and I have not yet installed SP3 on
this XP box. Anyone know if this is of relevance?
