If you have the HD space, you might wanna try this as a workaround, as i
dont have a pc-2 i can not verify that it works, but you might wanna give it
a try. anyway rip the audio tracks to wav files, there should be no loss of
quality if you rip it correctly. then use winamp and play back the album,
if it does not recognize when the songs are being switched try inserting a 2
second blank mp3 file in and see if that helps. Like i said I dont have a
pc-2 so i dont know if this will work, but you might wanna give it a try.
Later

Subject: MD: Samsung CDROM to Sony MDS-PC2 problems...

>Right now, I see no way to cleanly get the beginning of the first track.

do
>the dub through a typical computer sound system, the way they suggest,
