    I have just acquired a new plextor drive 4824Tu , I have always in the past used EAC to copy my cd's but of course now I want to use Plextools. I have been trying to copy a live concert audio cd but so far I have no success. The cd seems to copy ok but when I insert a blank cdr into the copier it tells me the source file is too large , ( I enabled overburning) the original cd is only 79 mins so it should not be a problem, however I thought as I had saved the image file to disc I could try another blank so i selected the source as the image file and browsed for the file , no luck the image was as a .bin format and the cdcopy prog was looking for a .pxi, with other progs normally I see the cue and bin together. I could not find a .pxi anywhere to load in the cdcopy menu. anybody have any ideas. Just one other thing I have read various posts regarding the audio extraction settings in Plextools and have configured them all accordingly to match at least I hope the quality that EAC was giving me, but can somebody tell me if the less than 100 errors ( the minimum allowed) option is a practicle setting or should I set it a bit higher

    Well I sorted the problem I had or rather Plextor did, the problem was caused by another recording problem (Alcohol 120) which had an option checked to recognise all cdr as cdrom, sometimes in some software called hide cd rom info, after unchecking this option in the software it works fine . After using the Plextools software for a few days on numerous audio discs for extraction and burning I have to say I am very pleased with the results I get.
