Snowshoe new poster Registered: 04/04/2004 Posts: 16 Loc: Midwest	Is there such a thing, I used this trick when I had Win 98. Been trying to find a similiar trick for Win XP but XP doesn't have such a file to replace. I know XP has support for burning but liked the trick in Win 98.

The one I see immediately presents CD tracks as WAV files (sort of a transparent ripper, I guess), but that doesn't sound like what you're talking about. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

I think that's EXACTLY what he's talking about. That's the only reason I ever replaced the CDFS.VXD on my win98 box. _________________________ Tony Fabris

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	But how does XP having CD burning built in have any bearing on that? _________________________ Bitt Faulk

It worked quite well. You could do things like point LAME directly at the files and get MP3's out the back end. It was quite nice. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Snowshoe new poster Registered: 04/04/2004 Posts: 16 Loc: Midwest	Quote: The one I see immediately presents CD tracks as WAV files That's exactly what I was looking for, Tony's website had such a file for Win 98. When I had Win 98 I liked being able to explore the CD drive directly as .wav files instead of the .cda which is a shortcut. You could choose 22hz or 44hz mono or stereo. It worked great for me in Win 98. Edited by Snowshoe (26/02/2006 03:14)
