Question about external CD-RW audio out??

[badluck]

I have a 32x External CD-RW (Pacific Digital). On the back of the unit I have 2 RCA audio out's. How can they be used? There was a cable that came with the unit. It is 2 RCA cables on one end, looks like 1/8" on the other end. How do I get audio out of the external CD-RW?

Do I just put the 1/8" jack to Line In on my sound card and then play the CD and control using Winamp (or other music problem)? Why is this any different than just connecting it via USB and using it that way???

I know I must be missing something here bcuz it's not making much sense....heh.....

Yep, thats how its supposed to be used. The reason it can't go through the USB is the design of the enclosure. The enclosure is basically a generic IDE-->USB2 interface...thats why you can slap a HD in there if you want. But all CDROMs have an audio out connector, and this was the easiest way to get it into your computer.
