The : program that does it is the same one that sets the volume in your : config.sys. I don't believe there is any software bundled with the SBPro that allows you to sample directly from the CDROM to the hard drive, without going through the sound card's 8-bit ADC. I think it is this ability that people are looking for. By the way, to those looking for the ftp.cdrom site I mentioned before, it is an alias that some systems don't interpret (I guess) - try the 'real' name of wrarchive.cdrom.com if need be. Dave
