Great to hear. If you are making copies of audio CDs, then you might want to look at 
using the CD View icon/thingy. Click on that to get a folder with an icon for your CD 
drive and an icon for your CDR drive. Put a blank CDR in the CDR drive, open both 
icons and drag and drop the list from the CD list to the CDR (empty) list. The click on 
the red button to record, then the eject button to finalize. 

The advange of the CD View method is that you can set things like the amount of 
"silence" between tracks on the CD that is recorded. This helps for some albums where 
one song blends into another song (Beatles Abby Road, various Queen albums); for 
those albums you will probably want to set the time/silence between tracks to the 
minimum.
Thanks
