hello yardbird i understand what you are saying about the process you went through in nero 6 - this the way that i would copy a compilation of mp3 files onto a cd-r. i would also like to learn a little more about nero and its capabilities so if there are any people holding onto this information then i would appreciate they share their knowledge with me. thanks in anticipation. stephen --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get?
