Whatever it does it will have to restore the audio tracks using a buffer.
Since Loose massages the drive light all the time anyway you can't tell
what it is doing. In theory the buffer need only be as large as a single
track, but this makes assumptions about what exactly a track is, and that
it contains no errors.

I seem to remember quite exactly that only some CD players are capable to
send raw audio information to the PC ? I wonder what the Corel thing does
when you use one that does not... (in other words: read the fine print on
the box when you buy imho).
