Ok i have the CD-ROM drive so that means i cannot write songs to a blank cd
am i correct? Underneath the CD-ROM drive its looks the same as the CD-ROM
drive but doesnt do anything its not labeled or anything its just there it
doesn't open or close. So with just a CD-ROM drive i can't write songs to a
blank cd?
