With a standard Toshiba XM3501 drive?? Actually, that's not correct. For your Toshiba, you need to confirm with Toshiba if your firmware can read CDI's at all because CDI came in two formats... The original one is Greenbook and you need a special software/hardware decoder for it while the newer standard is Whitebook and is the same as VideoCD's and just requires MPEG Playback software. Both are technologies of Philips, N.A. You might take a look at CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) which can extract the raw data to your HD before you can play it. The SONY CDU-76S 4x SCSI is one drive that can't do it since VideoCD's and CD's use 2324 byte sectors and not 2048 byte sectors. Hope this helps.
