hey

i just purchased a protected audio cd. i wana rip it too my computer because all my music collection is on my music hard drive, and i listen most of the time on my computer. i tried many programs but NONE seem to work (ex: alcohol, blind read/write, cdex, clonecd, extract audio copy). the thing is that when i insert this cd in my computer, it doesnt even let me play it. i researched a little bit on google and found out that some protected cds automatically install a driver when you insert it which disables u to rip them. i wonder if i try to rip it on another O.S like linux perhaps, maybe it will work. if anyone had already tried that, or knows any method or trick, i'll be very thankful.

The solution is to simply route your sound card's outputs back to your inputs & record the incoming signal with a wave editor.

Of course, the most effacacious solution is to either not purchase protected discs, or respect the request of the artist to not copy their material.

If there was, wouldn't it defeat the purpose of having the protection in the first place? What's wrong with putting the CD in to your CD-ROM drive and listening to it like a normal person?

get a better CD player and a better soundcard?

A cd-player with digital out and a soundcard with digital in and the quality is bit for bit no?

Actually, I have heard that you can bypass CD protection by just progamming your player...like using play order and stuff...dunno about new CD's tho'

If it's the Copy Control technology beloved by EMI and subsidiaries (all CDs released in Australia by EMI have this tech) than it is circumvented quite easily by ripping from a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The technology was designed to engage when placed in a RW drive, but seems to see no threat in a ROM drive.

I have no idea about any of the other technologies however, as I have never encountered them.

Another option could be to make a copy of the CD and rip it. It's happened to me a couple of times to get a copy protected CD and it worked this way: exact copy and then rip.

PS: Please, don't start talking about piracy etc. The CD I was trying to rip is one I was featured as a session musician in.

OK, here goes it.

Turn off cd autoplay in windows, that's a must then re boot. Put cd in rom but don't play it and then use cdex. It will show the first track as data. Just highlight the rest and rip....

Simple..dont know why they bother as it all relies on autoplay...

PS. I should mention it is perfectly leagle to make a backup copy of any disk you own providing you keep the original. Copyright law.

you have to get a magic marker and run it around the edge of the CD.

then you put the CD in upside down and use "CD NobRip 2006"

or something

Easy CD-DA Extractor

works a treat - can use the unregistered version too!

I was v pissed off when a CD I ordered arrived with all that copy protection as I keep all my current music on my PC.... so lets make it known that we can circumvent it anyway!
