It is a Plextor CDRW drive.
I have an AOpen DVD drive that works just fine as it should when I read a cd with the Remove digital protection on.
The only software that would read correctly when the "remove" was active on the Plextor drive was CDrwin. It reported the correct number and size of tracks.
Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, AudioGrabber and Clone Cd reported wrongly.
This is what CloneCD said about the same 16 track disc, 1st with "remove' in AnyDVD turned off and then on................

I probably shouldn't have said it was a bug in AnyDVD, it may be caused by something else, but I can have AnyDVD running.... I just can't have the "remove digital audio protection" running when using this drive to read cd's. Like I said it's not a real problem just thought someone else might have the problem sometime.
Thanks for the concern James.
