If I've got a music CD in my CDrom player. I can play the songs with various programs.

Yet, when I look at the CD using the Windows-explorer, it doesn't show any of the songs on the CD!

How's this possible and can I change it?

I don't know, man. Newer CDs will tend to have the names of the songs on them, and they'll show for you on Windows Media Player or whatever other thing you're using. Older CDs often won't have this, and on your player all you'll see is "Track 1", "Track 2", and so on. Are you saying you get nothing?

I thought this post was long since lost, but right after I made the post below it reemerged. Fuckin' crazy, man!

...I've determined that you need to describe the problem more thoroughly. Are you saying you don't see the titles of the songs (just "Track 1", "Track 2", and so on), or no files whatsoever? Normally you should see a .wav file for each track on the CD. If you don't, it might be because things are set to show only certain types of files, and .wav files isn't on the list. In such an event simply pull down the proper drop-down menu and opt for all file types on the CD to be displayed.
