When I built my system and installed all the goodies I learned how ATI, Creative, Mother MS, Plextor, etc. wanted to run my machine and control media play (cd's, dvd, mp3, etc.). Unfortunately it seems Mother MS has an edge and instinctively works better (plays cd's on my plextor drive which creative doesn't wan tot play). I dislike Mother MS as too big and intrusive but whats a guy to do?
