#272905 - 27/12/2005 20:16 EMI CD's with copy protection
furtive old hand Registered: 14/08/2001 Posts: 886 Loc: London, UK	I got a couple of CD's for Christmas with crappy EMI copy protection on them which makes them as good as coasters in my house seeing as the only CD player I have is in my PC. Is there an easy way to rip these things? I'm tempted to just return them otherwise _________________________ Mk2a RioCar 120Gb - now sold to the owner of my old car Rio Karma - now on ebay...

Sometimes for really stubborn disks that the basic methods do not work with, I get very good results from ripping the individual audio tracks from the first session with cdrwin. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	I've had problems ripping the odd CD here and there. However, I've found that newer drives seem much better at ripping copy-protected CDs. An older Sony I had at work (32x8x4x burner) wouldn't rip but a newer (48x??x??x) ripped it just fine. Are you using an old drive (i.e. >1-2 years) to rip? _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)
