I installed an MP3 ripping application and it modified
the right-button even further! When I pop in an audio
CD, the computer connects to the CDDB server,
downloads the album and song titles and instead of
displaying the CD with "track 1, track 2..." it shows
the song titles. Then when you right click on one of
the tracks, one of the choices is "Encode" which will
rip the track using whatever codec you set it up with!

(I didn't want to have someone running 98 to say I was
wrong, so I had to add the shift-key modifier to
comply with the lowest common denominator)
