    I bought an mp3-CD audiobook so that I wouldn't have to deal with not really owning the DRM-infested download version (and uncertainty as to whether the state of the DRM arms race [and my limited technical skills] will allow me to liberate it before my purchase is clawed back [and no, I can't find it on the high seas or the library system]), but the CD-RW drive in my ancient laptop only seems to be able to read raw audio CDs correctly, it won't see data CDs. harold-manic

    Does any maker of external optical readers have a particular reputation for compatibility and reliability?

      What the fuck? This must be a driver issue, it HAS to be able to read data CDs, there is no other way.

        It mistakes them for blank CD-RWs and wont proceed without trying to format them
