    Guess What I have? Another Question! Yaay!
    OK, back on topic. WHat exactly is the sonic solutions Dla? THe description on the site is
    Problem is, I can drag and drop files onto cd-rws with my current laptop, and I'm pretty sure I don't have that sonic ****. Is this really required after I reformat my "boxing" e1505?

    I haven't investigated that too much, but I don't think it's needed w/o the Sonic RecordNow et al software....

    Hello, I use Roxio (formally Sonic) DLA. It is extactly you have describe. It just like a floppy drive, or flash drive. When you install DLA program, it will allow you to transfer in to your CD or DVD (any type, DVD-/+R/RW, CDR/RW) just like floppy drive or flash drive. Of course, you will need the program in the computer inorder to write, w/o it, it will just read it.

    I haven't installed it yet. Is Sonic Solutions DLA 5.x recommended?

    I have the Sonic DigitalMedia v.7 LE CD Dell sent me, does it include the Sonic Solutions DLA 5.x in it?

    Thanks.

    Interesting, after you drag & drop the files from your hard drive to CD-R/DVD-R, does it write automatically or do you have to make a few more clicks to compelte the burning process? (similar to other burning software).

    Now that makes some sense and explains why Dell may have made it a separate download.

    Allows you to open data DVDs created using Sonic/Roxio on computers that don't have the Sonic software. All they would need is the DLA function. Sounds similar to BsClip packet writing software.

    I think you'll find it is on there. To be sure browse your CD and see what you find....
