So I called my computer guy, who in turn came and took a look; he said, sure enough, that the CD-DVD Burner drive had died, but that he could get me a new one in a few days! Unfortunately, the Coronavirus screwed everything up (still have not heard from the computer guy) in the meantime, I was told that Amazon had USB CD-DVD drives that would do the same thing! So with the help of a good friend of mine, I found one on Amazon (is a Dell, but don't remember the model number) is supposed to be able to play CDs, burn CDs and rip.the whole thing! I got the new CD-DVD drive a couple of days ago; this afternoon, a friend of mine who helps take care of my yard came by to cut the grass; he had this CD that he wanted me to listen to! So I decided I'd put this new drive through its paces and see what it'd do; I put the CD into the drive and.Winamp did come up and the CD started to play! So here's where the "fun" begins: I decided I'd rip it to my computer! I brought up Cdex, expecting to see the tracks to be ripped and.nothing! Zero! What am I supposed to do to make Cdex understand that I want to rip this CD? Am I forgetting something? As best as I remember, when I used to rip CDs with the original drive that was in the computer, I could just pop that bad boy in there, bring up Cdex and it was ready to rock and roll; not so with this new CD-DVD drive! Did I buy the wrong thing? I was surely thinking that this little USB Drive would do what I needed; it said that it would burn and rip! So what am I missing here? If someone can give me instruction here, I'd sure appreciate it! Tom Kaufman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
