This has the potential to be so beautifully ironic -

If the average Joe with a cdrom-technology-based player can't play the original, but even one person manages to make a good digital copy (which will eventually happen), it can be (illegally) redistributed via 'normal' cd, mp3, or whatever, becoming the only way that said average Joe can listen to the music he paid for.

It will come down to buying a new player, or downloading a ripped copy from someone that has it. Of the two, I find the latter more likely.

This whole thing could cause a serious increase in trading of copyrighted works.
