- I'm quoting from Amiga World (August 1992), page 38, Common Misconceptions
- About CD-ROM:
-
- 3. You can use a CD-ROM drive to capture perfect digital samples from your
- compact-disc music collection. --->
-
- Nice try, but no.... Although they use somewhat similar mechanisms, audio and
- CD-ROM manufacturers have agreed to make this impossible. Ofcourse, most
- CD-ROM drives can play compact discs. You can feed the music to a sound
- sampler and record it like any other sound. The results are very good because
- of the direct link from the player to the sampler. These results, however, are
- no different from those you get by connecting your stereo to the sampler;
- you've simply turned your CD-ROM into a very expensive boom box.
