Need a virtual CDR Drive that appears real

My library lets me down load audio books as WMA’s with an expiration date. But I’m also allowed to burn CD copies of these books via media player. I really have too many cd’s so I save them to CDRW then rip them to my mp3 player.

Is there a virtual drive that will fool windows media player so I can save the time spent for my CDR to be burned. I’m allow to keep these books. It should be my choice on how I want to listen to them.

Thanks.

You can check the Daemon tools:
daemon-tools.cc

You create a CD image file by a burner software of your choice and mount it the image file as a separate CD drive

However, AFAIK, Windows Media won’t burn the files to a virtual drive, and even if it could, it would still take a long time. Does anyone have a solution? I’m thinking convert the wma files directly to mp3s…

you have to use the hack to patch the wma’s and remove the DRM.

Microsoft has their own XP virtual CD freebie app, you can download from this link or check the MS site.

Not sure if this will suit your purpose, but maybe worth a try.
