P.S. on previous: I just found a review of Nero Ultra Version 6 on a Web site where one of the two reviews describes the Control-1 method of copying selected files into the compilation list. The reviewer says that Ahead included this key command as a courtesy to blind users.
Now I know where Russell may have gotten it, and don't need to learn how to do blind drag n/ drop. However, Bruce, I'd love to hear about the technique in order to add it to my skills in case it ever should come in handy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
