Hello, Ronny :) A sublimely simple answer, but exactly what the doctor ordered, none the less :) I guess it shouldn't be to suprising that there might be issues with cdparanoia, seeing as it doesn't appear to be under active development. (If I am mistaken, I do apologize. The project page on freshmeat appears to have been updated in 2002, and cdparanoia's home page leads me to believe the same) Anyway, thanks, Ronny. I am now able to rip cd's again with my USB2 external CDRW drive :) Have a Great Day :) Steven P. Ulrick
