Phil, Maybe I'm missing something (actually, it's quite likely that I am), but I think that if you can play ANY CDs, you can probably play CD_track files. FWIW, I can access Nautilus CD_Track files from either Nautilus or from the Windows file manager (by associating the files with the Media Player [see p. 451 in your Windows 3.1 manual]). You get a directory from your CDROM, associate the file if necessary, and doubleclick on it to launch. All I have is a Sony Laser Library CDROM connected to an SBPro audio card. Before I figured out how to connect the external CDROM to the sound card to route sound to my desktop speakers, I got CD sound and Nautilus CD tracks from headphones connected to the CDROM drive. But I think that if either your CDROM card or your audio card can interpret CD_track files, that you can hear the output from somewhere. What I was missing before the sound card was the ability to play .wav and .mid files, because the SLL plays only CDs and some types of CDROM "multimedia" discs. Lynne
