    I have Windows Media Player, Nero, Augiograbber, and Express Burn. All more or less equal media players. Each allows me to burn cds from hard drive files.

    When I want to make a disc copy, they will rip and place in temp file on hard drive, but won't burn to new cd.

    Any idea why this situation exists?

    I have these drives: Samsung SW-240, and Samsung SD-616T. For some reason, the only drive connected to the media players is Samsung SW-240. For whatever reason, they don't recognize Samsung SD-616T.

    Not sure why they won't allow me to copy discs.

    DO it in two steps .

    Rip the files to the HDD as WAV files and verify that they play.

    Once you know they're good, create the audio CD from them.

    Yes, your OS will not let you do that. Follow Dave's advice.

    Huh! a good work around, no doubt.

    I didn't know my OS won't let me do a disc-to-disc copy.

    That tells me the way it is....

    It will not let you do a disk to disk copy of copyrighted material. You can have many reasons to rip a CD most legal. Really old CDs are not marked as copyrighted and you can copy them. Some new CDs can't be ripped.
