I want to have 2 CD-RWs playable ( not at the same time though). I
have one CD audio connector on mobo. It also has an AUX audio
connector I want for DVD player audio. Can I just make a Y cable from
2 CD-RW audio cables?

When you say "DVD player audio", do you mean for playing audio CDs on
your DVD player? (the cable isn't used when playing DVDs)

Is it not just working through the IDE cables?

I haven't installed the OS yet, I plan on XP. How would I set it for
audio over IDE? I not familar with that. I thought it needed to go
thru an audio cable to the sound card, or incase of onboard audio into
the CD audio connector on the motherboard.

It usually just works. Just install your audio drivers and see what happens.
You can always install an audio cable afterwards if necessary.
I've got a DVD/RW, CDRW and a DVD drive in my box and don't have audio
cables for any of them. This is using onboard sound.

Digital audio will work fine for all the CD drives. However, you will not be
able to use the headphone jacks on the front panel of the drives while
digital audio is enabled.
