While that's a good idea, I don't think that it will be possible. I believe that the playstation checks for the copy protection scheme every time that the cover switch is pressed in, which is what will happen when you swap the disks. If there is no copy protection than all you can do is spool redbook audio off of the CD. *sigh* I don't think that it will be possible. Great idea though. -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt
