If you use a program (like Windows Media Player) that supports "digital extraction" then you do not need to make an audio connection between your CD drive and the computer.

Modems usually have their own speaker.

Did your modem make sounds through your multimedia speakers before??

have u got broadband. over here in the uk you can get 512down/256up adsl for £29.99/month. it's pretty expensive. im sure over there in america u can get faster speeds for less money. The UK is such a rip off!!

as for dial-up. i may hav to dial up again if my adsl modem breaks down (touch wood) oh well, right now im enjoying blisteringly fast speeds and i can download loads of stuff for free. i love broadband. the future is here, the future is broadband :smileygrin: hehe

Actually for £25 you can get 512k down & 256k up on broadband (not ADSL though cuz BT are a rip off).
Alternatively for £35 we can get 1MB down and 512k up. I think this my next new investment

ANd yes, UK is a lot more expensive, but then again, I don't care. I live here, so I have no need to compare what things cost in the USA.
The way I see it is, if I can afford it then I'll get it.
