No, the problem I mentioned is crackling when you want to play Soundblaster-digitized voices WHILE accessing the CD. Does happen in Games like "Sherlock Holmes" or "7Th Guest", where they keep loading new video data while they are playing video (and outputting sounds). CD Audio works fantastic on the CDR562 and CDR563. They did a pretty clever trick regarding the double spin: When you insert a CD with mixed data and CD Audio (there are only very few) the disk will run at normal speed. Some other multispin drives keep switching speeds between the data and audio sections (which actually SLOWS them down quite a bit). Boris
