I'm having the infamous problem with the Akai/audio CD roms.  I 
tried this work around...2 different programs...CD-copy (via Virtual 
PC) and Discribe and both failed attempting to write the Akai 
portion of the disc.  I tried 2 different CD's also.  It gets down to 
the very last bit of information in the track and reports failure in 
the case of Discribe, and reports an error in the case of CD 
Copy.  I've used both the CD drive in my Mac and also a Sony 
espressa so the CD's and the drives aren't the problem.  Is there 
something basic that I'm missing here.  I would sure appreciate 
the help as about half of my library is mixed mode.  

An interesting tidbit....  The exs was able to convert files from 
these same mix mode CD's in version 4.6.1.  I converted 
hundreds of files from my Advanced Orchestra CD's.  

thanks in advance
