John:

Thank you for your answer and suggestions.  While I have a 
DVD reader, others on this list do not for economical 
reasons, and I was asking out of concern for them.

Having not spent much time reading all the emails on this 
topic, I'm not sure what you mean by a lot of "CD's" but 
given the storage capacity of a DVD, I am guessing it's 
greater than 10.
