Won't work!!! You can use the digital output on your cdrom drive to output
the CD-Audio data digitally and then convert it for transmission over
optical medium. However MP3 files are being decoded by your cpu using
software and then the PCM data stream is fed to your soundcard, meaning you
need a sound card with a digital output to do that (SB Live/Value series,
HoonTech's ST series etc.)
