Hi, David! Thanks for this message! Even though I thought my issue was somewhat resolved, I decided to follow your advice and check out the cd reader options in goldwave; didn't even realize there was an options tab before reading your message. Anyway, I don't think the sector overlapping thing was my problem; it was the interface option that was wrong. Fortunately I hadn't actually purchased Premear CD creater yet, and maybe now I won't even have to. Thanks again for sending this, and I hope you're having a great day! Missy
