OK, thanks ... part of the way there ... problem 1 ...
The CD is a language lesson that I wish to listen to at a slower speed 
for pronunciation, and so far ...
    The CD can be played on the computer ... but ... I haven't been able 
to get Audacity (or any extractor) to recognize the CD
       Audacity error message says it cannot determine the filesystem 
type and none was specified
       Sound Juicer say "Sound Juicer could not find any CD-ROM drives 
to read."
But I found Grip, which is running now and is supposed to be ripping it 
... I guess after that Audacity should be able to do its part? ... I am 
sure there is a learning curve here, but at least I think I am on my way
