I suppose you're talking about a proper audio CD (CDDA)?

Using Windows Explorer to copy the files won't work. Those .cda files are just links. No data.

Try a ripping program like CDex.

If your monitor is connected via DVI, you can tell your graphics driver to scale while maintaining aspect ratio. Then use a 4:3 resolution in D3. You'll get black bars.

Well, Alopex was the old genus for the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus). That's probably why some think it's the same.

I couldn't find any translation. Maybe it doesn't have one. It doesn't have to have one.
