You're welcome. For those interested, he's talking about this.

Under windows, you can use the Audio FS mode with the plextor software, and it makes an audio cd appear as a bunch of wav files... This means you can use a command line encoder without using a ripper...

Yeah, that's what I built my Jack software around. I found a sys driver that does the same thing (dunno where it came from though). My only problem is that I have trouble using WinAmp as my CD player if I use this driver. If I try to hit the Playlist function in WinAmp, it gives me the CD tracks but then tries to recursively catalog the .WAV files on the CD, which screws up the playback.
