We know how alcohol can have a virtual drive DVD-r or CD-R, but could you make it a virtual DVD-RW or CD-RW as well.
This would come in handy for when you have an image of a disk and only wish to copy parts of it and not the whole disk. Right now I am having to copy to a DVD-RW and I get tired of inserting formating the disk all the time. If I could copy to a virtual Writer that would be great.
Did I confuse anyone?

It isn't really possible, as all cd-rw drives behave differently.

Couldn't you have an Image writer like Nero has?

That's what the Image Making Wizard does...unless you're referring to pre-mastering (making an image from files on your drive) which is something that Alcohol does not currently do.

I think the idea here (and one I definitely encourage as well) is to be able to burn an image file from another CD burning program, like WMP, iTunes, Napster, etc.. For ex on Napster - once you purchase the tracks, you can burn them, but only like 5 times or something, and you still have to use their software. If you could "burn" an image file and then mount it as a virtual CD, you could use a CD ripper program to take it back into wave files. That would eliminate the stupid restrictions they place on music that you've legitimately purchased.

Pick one of the mos commonly-supported CD-RW drives and call it your "standard".
What is needed is a drive letter assignment, so that applications will see this "virtual cd-rw" as drive F: or whatever.
