Playing CDs under Edgy?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi Joanie,

Thanks, that was exactly my problem.  Sound Juicer was coming up 
automagically, and when it did, my first thought was, thanks, but I wana 
play the disk, not extract it, LOL.
I guess sometimes, it's best to actually trust the OS.

Anyway, thanks and have a good night,

--Al
