This is not a copy protect scheme, it is the enhanced CD standard that causes no problems with programs aware of it. The ripper he is using dosen;t know how to deal with it, so the CD laser goes right onto the gap used to seperate the two and gets confused. As stated before, AudioGrabber will work fine to get that track, as will many other programs.

Enhanced CDs have been around longer then Napster and the RIAA getting upset about MP3s.
