    Question Simple question...

    Hey all,
    I'm just curious here, but I have this great CD (retail, not burned), that I listen to all the time when I'm using my computer.
    But I'm wondering, is there anyway to put some of the tracks on my hard drive? Or is it impossible?

    Download Windows Media Player and record the CD. It's REALLY easy. There's a little tab that says "Copy from CD" on the side. In fact, you can even do game tracks if you like.

    Are you serious?? Does that include all games or just the select few that work alone in CD players?

    Yeah, I'm serious, but it depends on the game. With some it works beatifully and with others it sux or doesn't work at all.For example, if you have perhaps an FPS or something with background music it will probably not work; but for games like racing games with actual tracks, it might work.

    Thanks for the help...it worked great.

    As far as the game thing went though...it doesn't seem like I own any, aside from Rainbow Six, that allow that feature, and I knew about R6 awhile ago.
    Ah well, it worked for what I wanted it for anyway.
