If you just want to play mp3 files on your computer there's no need to "pay" for software to do that for you. There are lots of freeware programs out there that you can download for free (legal) that will let you enjoy mp3's on your PC: »www.foobar2000.org/ »www.winamp.com/ Yes, you can make ISO files with a single optical drive. If your question was can you copy a DVD with a single optical, the answer is still yes. What your CD/DVD writing software will do is it will first use the optical drive to make a copy of the CD/DVD onto the hard drive and then make you insert a blank media to copy the image from the hard drive.

I was browsing the software forum for burners and saw imgburn, cdburnerxp, BurnAware, and infrarecorder. When I read the faqs for infrarecorder it said you need a recorder. I thought that was the recorder, so I'm quite confused about that. In any event are any of the burners I listed above good and easy to use? (I can order Roxio Creator 10 Premier Ultimate Burn/Authoring for $79 with this computer. I don't know if Roxio is good or not). I notice a few people are recommending using Windows Media Player for my MP3s. Will it allow me to play my MP3s since I downloaded them but don't have a license for them? I think WMP has DRM in it. Thank you. Sincerely, Libra
