Finale 2001 Cd Crack

The first copy-protected audio cd in the us will be released in april. The cd is a tribute to country singer jim reeves performed by charley pride. The cd will feature copy protection from startup suncomm and will theoretically stop songs from being ripped into mp3s by making the discs incompatible with at least some computer cd-rom drives.the copy protection scheme most probably takes advantage of differences in specifications for redbook cds (audio) and yellowbook cds (data). So far, copy protection schemes for cd audio have consisted of adding additional information to the table of contents area on a cd, or adding errors to the track that an audio cd player skips over but a cd-rom reader has trouble with. This will cause problems with some high-end audio equipment which uses cd-rom read mechanisms to get more accurate data. Rob's opinionwhen i buy a cd, i may want to rip it to mp3 so that i can listen to it on a mobile mp3 player or one in my car. The type of copy protection being planned tramples all over my fair use.what is msnbc thinking by writing, “for years the digerati have mocked the labels for putting out what are, in effect, perfect rip-ready copies of digital master recordings.” i, for one, haven't ever mocked the labels for producing cds in this way.

In fact, i think it was great of them to allow me to easily copy cd tracks to my pc and put on a mix audio cd or an mp3 cd for my listening pleasure. That's what fair use is all about, isn't it?after that, an emi vp says that dvds are “ hard to copy ” well, surprise! Dvds have no copy protection at all. They only have protection from being played on unlicensed dvd players.

Dvds are easy to copy. I hate to say it (2:24am est thu mar 29 2001)but if they can make someone will crack it. Just like they did with 7 lines of perl code for dvd's. And once it is a industry standard they can go changing it every week.these actions are basicly fruitless. By the way i like to pay for my music.p.s.what section in the music store can you find steely dan in?? – by jack of speedprobable outcome (2:34am est thu mar 29 2001)i like the convenience of my mp3 player, and expect to be able to use it with music that i buy.

Sooo if i buy a cd that i discover to be rip-proof, guess where i'm going? (hint: it beings with “nap” and ends with “ster”.) and just maybe i'll pick up some extra tracks while i am there. (how will rip-proof songs get on napster in the first place? Someone will find have the patience to record and convert the analog audio out from a traditional cd player.

Or perhaps use the pcm out from a dvd player.) – by thissucksgreat idea (2:42am est thu mar 29 2001)cool! Now i hate music more. But then again, i could run a rca cable from the cd player audio output to my computer rca input, record it to.wav and then make a.mp3, and then share it with millions or maybe record it to cassette, the new cool media format. Tapester – here we come – by jesus®no big deal (3:37am est thu mar 29 2001)every time i listen to vinyl these days i record it to a wav file so i can convert it to a high quality mp3 later.i'm about half way through my collection:)so if i have to do the same thing on new cds – no big deal. The quality is fine for crappy pc speakers and portable mp3 players, and i always listen to original source material on the big system anyway. – by crumbledidn't work last time (4:54am est thu mar 29 2001)they tried this a year or two ago in germany – there were so many complaints and returned cd's because a lot of good quality sound gear could not play the crippled cd's, that they gave up (40% return rate if i remember correctly)but i would have thought you could have given away blank cd's and a burner with every copy of a “jim reed tribute by charley pride” and still not risked a single copy being made! – by here we go againrecord companies “allowed” what?

(7:45am est thu mar 29 2001)rob. I don't think the record companies consciously “allowed” copying of cd tracks a pc. Drives came out with cd audio extraction and there was nothing the record companies could do about it. This latest move proves they don't want cd ripping, and i would say they never have wanted it.– by spud boythis is bad an all but. (8:20am est thu mar 29 2001)i think that the recordcompanies are taking the correct action. I would rather see them take action to prevent the copy of cd than sue the makers of the cd-rwsyes it removes due-process, but with all the weight that they have the only due process is the record cos writing a check to the goverment as a donation. – by -all4pyracycopy-protected cds (8:43am est thu mar 29 2001)i will never buy a cd that i can't copy.

I hope i speak for the majority of americans. – by shadei wonder (9:03am est thu mar 29 2001)i wonder if there was some way of hooking up a regular cd player to your computer and then ripping the cd into mp3 format.

– by infern0where i listen to music (9:20am est thu mar 29 2001)i dont own a cd-player, i own computers and a couple dvd players, i play my music cds on these computers and dvd players, i wonder if they will play on my dvd players, i dought it, somebody wasnt thinking. I guess they just lost a customter, like they care, loose one raise the price next the the cds will have license fees “your licenese has expired, you must renew your license to contintue to listen to this music” – by mikeshooting urself in the foot (9:49am est thu mar 29 2001)i buy cds and dvds and i listen/watch them almost exclusively from my pc. If they start making media that won't work in my pc, i stop buying.– by robguyit's not worth worrying (9:52am est thu mar 29 2001)at one point in the article they say that even though they know the plan isn't fullproof, they say it will drastically reduce ripping. All it takes is one inventive person to rip and post. I think the real smart people here are the small startups that are going to make a mint selling worthless protection to the recording industry.

As far as my opinion goes, who cares if the riaa protects the ton of crap they attempt to market down our throats every year? Let them let the musicians make worthwhile music that stands on it's own merit and then i'll be concerned about their attempt to limit my access to it. – by vidiotduh (9:54am est thu mar 29 2001)i should have every right to play an audio cd in my cd-rom drive. I should have every right to convert that cd to mp3 format so that i can play the music in my mp3 portable device.this is a very immature, rediculous attempt at music protection and once a cd that people actually want to buy attempts to use this “copyright protection” scheme, it will be thrown out the door.besides that, this still doesn't stop someone from hooking up their optical cd player output to their optical audio input on their sound card and still ripping cd music. If a protection scheme cannot protect the music in all situations, then there is no business trying to implement some half-assed scheme.

But i still hate the fact that there is a bias against digital music copying compared to analoge music copying. The music industry was never “up-in-arms” about people making tapes of tapes, or even tapes of cd's.

But now suddenly, since you can make generational copies that do not degrade in quality, there has to be a difference in the copyright rules? – by edduh is shortsighted (10:13am est thu mar 29 2001)it's all about sales, ed.analog copying did not threaten sales. People still bought the licensed copies to get the better quality. This does not apply to digital copying. “most” people will have no reason to buy the original if their copy is an exact reproduction.asserting your right to play audio cd on your pc and make “personal” copies is just argumentative.

The real issue is about sales. No encryption or hardware protection will ever stop true hackers. I mean i copy my data cd's cause i hate when i stratch the cd to the point of no return.

Safedisk 2 was supposed to stop all the cdclone users. Well now there is dao give it up. Just release the darn cd. – by nozzoomdon't worry (10:42am est thu mar 29 2001)we have a few of these cd titles in czech republic already with stickers “copying kills music” on it.it can't be played in cd-rom drives easily, but you can always resolve that and rip the music do mp3.do i need to say that nobody loves the artists and publishers for that?:-) – by manixalready copyprotected (10:45am est thu mar 29 2001)isn't the cd already copy protected by the fact that it's a tribute album to jim reeves performed by charley pride. Notice they didn't try this with something main stream. It could be considered highly illegal. – by zozohow to copy these cd's (10:53am est thu mar 29 2001)theyu can not make a cd “copy-proof” if you can read it you can copy it.method a: you can allways use analog recording methods.and here is method b for all ofd you that really love sound quality.you get your self a sound blaster live (not value) with digital in and out.then you you get a dvd player with digital out, and record digitaly to u'r pc in real time.

There you go a exact digiatl copy, only draw back it is done in real time there.besides that i want to see them make a cd that can not be copy. Blind copy will solve that real fast. – by suggahkaneso (11:09am est thu mar 29 2001)this means they're going to remove the audio 'tax' imposed on each blank cdr/rw, right? If we can't copy it, they shouldn't be able to still tax us on blank media.i really hope someone makes some loud noise regarding this – by god™so (11:10am est thu mar 29 2001)this means they're going to remove the audio 'tax' imposed on each blank cdr/rw, right? If we can't copy it, they shouldn't be able to still tax us on blank media.

I really hope someone makes some loud noise regarding this – by god™0000cracked too (11:11am est thu mar 29 2001)truth is it will be cracked as well, just because its designed to run on a “red book” cd player.and emulating that kind of hardware with a cd drive cant be that hard.it will reduce casual copying at best. – by evilbunnyjust buy (11:25am est thu mar 29 2001).an inexpensive standard cd player, a walkman would do, pump it into the audio input on your sound card, and boom.rip awayscrew the recording industry, they don't blink an eye about screwing the artists or the consumers, but when the consumers start screwing them, they cry like a babyboo-f.king-hoo. – by –freemusicwhat audio tax? (11:56am est thu mar 29 2001)blank cd-r/rw's have an audio tax?imposed by who? I never heard of this. – by didn't knowwhat audio tax? (11:58am est thu mar 29 2001)blank cd-r/rw's have an audio tax?imposed by who?

I never heard of this. – by didn'tknowdidn't know — what audio tax (12:29pm est thu mar 29 2001)i don't know if this is occuring in the us yet, but it's all the rave in europe. Cd burner drives, audio cassettes, video cassettes, and vcr's (etc.) are taxed, based on formulas for how much copy-right violation will take place.see – by another mikeplaying the game. (12:38pm est thu mar 29 2001)believe it or not, i've been waiting for this release for about 2 years now. (yes, there are charley pride/jim reeves fans out there). I'll be curious to see how this disc works.as others have pointed out, its still quite easy to get a rather decent analog copy of the disc, then mangle it into mp3 or just dump it back onto cd where you can do what you want with it.those of us who still know the value of a tube amp aren't afraid of analog.– by peter the k.wahoo!

(12:48pm est thu mar 29 2001)let's hear it for tube amps! – by impressedbypeteri already have over 1000 cds. (1:30pm est thu mar 29 2001)that's what happens when one collects them over a period of 15+ years. If they start moving to a copy-protected format, i'll simply stop purchasing them. I mean, it's not like i don't have enough music already:-) – by rsteinerbackup copies (1:45pm est thu mar 29 2001)as far as i know, you are legally allowed to make one backup copy of a cd, which, i believe, includes audio cds. With copy protection in place, they strip us of this legal right, unless, of course, you work around it.

Gumbythank you, rob (1:45pm est thu mar 29 2001)i share your opinion and i am so glad your speaking out for us and provide this space for us to speak out. We who believe in fair use in the sacred space of our own home are becoming hated and fear by those who want to profit more from us. You and i know that it ain't gonna happen. – by paleo-urgeekain't gonna work (2:17pm est thu mar 29 2001)i already have the work-around for it my cd-rom drive reads audio tracks as.wav files, which i can copy in windows explorer. Ripping a.wav from the hard drive is as easy as ripping it from the audio cd, and slightly faster.“copy protection?” more like income protection for the consultants defrauding the riaa.

– by icesnake frostfyreicesnake (2:44pm est thu mar 29 2001)how did you set up you're system to read an audio cd as wav files?do you need a special program? – by -thankscopy protection (2:51pm est thu mar 29 2001)on it's playstation game consoles, sony implemented a similar strategy.

A regular playstation game cd has “bad” data written in specific sections. When you load the game, the system checks for these bad sectors. The infamous mod chip merely bypassed this check, making copied games playable.

There are programs now available, such as nero burning rom, which will copy the exact information from the cd byte by byte, so there are already ways around this before it became an issue with audio cds. As the saying goes, “don't forget what you already know”. – by blehthis is dumb (4:44pm est thu mar 29 2001)this sucks, because what about the people who do buy cds (if there are any of these people?). Now they will not be able to listen to there $20 audio cds on there computers. I am so tired of hearing shit about anti-ripping software. I you try to protect it, there are going to be people that are smarter than you who are going to crack itso why waste your fucking time trying to stop the inevitable. – by i'm the assholethat is stupid!!!

(5:56pm est thu mar 29 2001)so if i go out and buy my self a new cd. And if i feel like listening to it on my computer or transfering it to my mp3 player i can't!!1that is friken abosured – by goden99wont bother me 1 bit (7:27pm est thu mar 29 2001)i think i bought 1 cd last year, maybe that was the year before. I cant remember, although i have a fairly large mp3 collection, i wont lie 75% i couldent find in a cd store anyways if anyone here can name a must have cd of 2001 so far id be impressed.

All the music i have i have purchased either in the past or on vinyl once people get of the concept of pop music being the “only” or “best” music out there maybe the music industry will be forced to change.(by the way napster is illegal, just though id add my 2 cents.) – by nexteverybody says. (8:34pm est thu mar 29 2001)run a cable out from the pc back in and record thatguess what, its a whole lot easier than that. Just make sure the internal wire from your soundcard to your cdrom is analog and not spdif.

Finale 2009

As long as the internal conection is analog (90% are) you will be sitting pretty.drew– by drewdon't waste your breath (9:36pm est thu mar 29 2001)this is obviously going to be a short-lived scheme. Many of the cd's i bought have some added value computer content. Pretty soon if you want to sell a cd it will have-to be playable on a computer.

The only place i listen to pop music is on the road – and mp3 players make the most sense here. If i cannot play it on my mp3 player – i don't need it.ria keeps saying that you always have a choice of not buying the music. That is so true – and they will know it. – by digital onlyhow to get explorer to show audio cd as wav (10:12pm est thu mar 29 2001)cdfs.vxd will allow you to see audio cds as wav in windows explorer – by ripgeekbravo, wallet speakers! (12:29am est fri mar 30 2001)those of you who assert that you will not buy the product if it impinges on your ability to enjoy it as you see fit are entirely correct. If you don't agree, don't buy.

It's that simple, and i wish the rest of the whiners would catch on to that fact. That is the logical and sensible way to make your views known. Money (or, more accurately, the lack of it) talks, and if the labels notice that their profits are seriously degraded, you can bet they'll be looking at other, less draconian methods to preserve their bottom line. Following the sheep who bleat “we'll crack it as soon as it comes out” will only serve to exacerbate the situation and lead to more animosity. After all, music is not in the same class as food, clothing and shelter.

We can live without it long enough to make a point.and no, i don't work for a record label. I am in the music industry, though, and i can understand the frustration of those who put blood, sweat and tears into getting their product out there, only to see it ripped off. There are those who may feel that ripping off the major labels is justified due to their abysmal treatment of the artists, but there are plenty of talented indie artists who are suffering the same fate, through no fault of their own. Flame mail welcome: scott@x913.fm – by scottit isn't about sales. (10:32am est fri mar 30 2001)if i buy a cd, i have the right to play in in whatever format i choose.

If i want to rip a cd to play it on my mp3 device, then that is entirely my right. There is a problem with distributing music illegally, but this solution does not address that. It simply is a foolish attempt at blocking one problem, without considering what other problems it creates.– by edabout the quality of music (2:34pm est fri mar 30 2001)the riaa likes to gripe and moan about napster and mp3's cutting in to their business, but i'm going to rehatch the old hat argument – music sales suck because the music they're pushing sucks. It's like a drug dealer trying to blame a needle exchange program for dropping his sales when he's selling a bad product. Not the best analogy, but i wanted to reference the riaa as best as possible. – by blahcopy protected audio cds!

(6:08am est sat mar 31 2001)hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh man that's rich got any more of that doobage? I mean you have to be smokin' some heavy duty northern lights shit to believe that you can copy protect music hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha let's see:1) a microphone at each speaker2) an a/d converter hooked to the speaker outputs on the amp3) analog recording via rca jacks, or whatever4) digital hookups into a sound cardso long as i can play it, i can copy it and reencode it. And if you piss me off by making it so i can't do what i want with my music, then i'm definately uploading a copy on to the napster just to be as big a schmuck as the riaa – by smoke up johnny!cd copying (9:17am est sat mar 31 2001)if you ask me it is all a load of waffle, if you can here it you can copy it! Gates esqyou know (2:12pm est sat mar 31 2001)now that i think about it, what is wrong with copy protection – all it does it keep thieves from stealing music. – by god™shut up (12:04am est sun apr 01 2001)how can you say “profits are seriously degraded” when 2000 was an all time high in music sales? (8:03pm est mon apr 02 2001)if it doesent work, hook it up and rip it as a wav then re rip it in cda format.there are a dozen different ways around this.

– by hrratopinions are like (11:09pm est tue apr 03 2001)fuck charlie pridefuck the riaafuck suncomm.live on mp3 live on – by boycott cd'scd copy protection (10:05am est wed apr 04 2001)i think that all of you need to get two things:1: a life. Have any of you ever compared the sound of a cd to the terrible sound of an mp3?fuck all of you!!!!

If not for all of you asshole napster-heads the riaa wouldn't be fucking with copy protection. Yes i'm sure that i can circumvent anything that they come up with too, but i would like to thank all of you mp3 trading shitheads for causing this mess!!!– by d-knowre: d-know (6:59pm est wed apr 04 2001)the bozo one message above this one (by the name of “d-know”) – blow us!1.

Most of us do have a life, idiot! Most of us know more about mp3 quality then you will ever know and a fact that a good encoding, at 192kbps rate or greater can very much enhance the quality of mp3, and make it even cd-like! Morons like you still download those 128kbps mp3s some people just never learn.3. I will never buy a cd that costs more than $20 i don't care what's on it, i can get it for free instead! Either get online, on napster, or copy it from someone that already owns it.and because most of the cds i'm looking for cost around $30-40 (trance/house/rave beats), i get most of those songs from friends and from napster.

Try Finale

See, if the cost of those cds was cheaper, i'd consider buying them but then again, the selection of the cds here in toronto is not that good, and i just don't have enough time to search for the cds online. So i get all the songs from the netanother reason for someone like me not buying cds is that most of the today's releases are shit! There, i said it, cuz it needed to be said! Britney spears, eminem, dr dre what kind of commercial shit is this?

Wannabe niggaz, bad boyz, sluts, bitches every song sounds the same?! Come on people would you shell out $20 for a cd cuz of 2 good songs on it, and 15 crappy ones? I didn't think soanyway, my point is – never say never, live and let live, riaa – suck my thumb cuz i ain't spending my money on you (i'd rather spend $20 on a blow job!), and long live napster! – by candymansay what?! (3:01am est thu apr 05 2001)one more thing – there have been billions of songs ripped off the cds and made into mp3s, and are currently cruising around the net, stored on millions of computers, cds and riaa is not making a dime out of it! That's gotta hurt those mofos. These files are always gonna be there, and it would be impossible task to completely rid the net of them!

And as a result of that, recording companies are now trying to convince people it is better to pay for music instead of downloading it for free (obtain in within the bounds of copyright law) well, guess what! You can try to sell that shit to the idiotic part of population, that doesn't even use a computer. They don't give a rat's ass, they'll shell out $20 for a new britney spears cd just so they can enjoy that one good song she comes up with, and read the bullshit she comes up with on the cd cover.not me! I've only bought a couple of cds in my life and actually kept them, cuz they were full of hits, amazing songs, and 90% of the songs were just blazing! I give my respect to those artists who make the albums like that (anyone listened to first couple of albums by british band “scooter” wow!). Others i just bought to listen to, didn't like most of the songs, and returned them for my $$$ back.

See, if the artists were actually trying to come up with good albums with lots of hit songs on them, i'd actually buy the cds, but since every single fucken artist releases only one or two hits on each album, and every other song is just a waste of cd, jeez, no wonder everyone turns to napster, illegal trading of mp3s or whatever. That way they can only get the specific songs, without paying for all the other crap. And riaa still doesn't get it they keep on trying to come up with a copy-protected cds instead of concentrating their efforts on creating better albums and lowering the costs of freakin' cds! – by candymanabout “one or two songs on one cd” (12:10pm est tue may 08 2001)i agree with that statement.

My younger sister who had had difficulties earning money, yet still paying at least $12 for one music cd that is only 42 minute long. Her hard earning money amount the at least $12 muliplied by 100 cds that my sister had bought had rendered her un able to afford a nice meal every day for energy working to make a living-earning. My myself had borrow some of the cds that she had bought and had listened to them, and guess what, only 50% of these 100 cds that have only at max 3 songs that i like to listen again ( some of these 50% cds have only one or two songs of these kinds). There are many music-needing people out there who are not personally charistaristically being able to keep their original copy of their music cd from being cratched, and so not being able to play well, or sometimes at all, on a regular “red book” cd player.

So if they spent their at least $12 on a 42 minute music cd that have only one, two, or three songs that worth “relistening”, and now that these new cds are going to be rip-proof, they just have to spend another at least $12 on the same cds. – by lovegoodsongsdo not worry (12:59pm est sun jun 24 2001)i can code something to get over that protection and allow to rip it anywayi can read it in raw mode (like clone cd does) and convert it.no seriously, protection will not ever work as long as there are people that can code out herewhat they're gonna do now? – by jeffprotection (1:47am est thu jul 12 2001)i have a cd, with cape verdean music, that employs this scheme.

At least that's my gyess. It will play on a standard cd player but not on my computer except for the first track.the first track is visible (and can be ripped for that matter) but the rest is displayed as data tracks.sofar i have not been able to copy this, not even with clonecd. But my guess is that it should be quite easy to copy, someone has to modify a general rip-program like eac or something to read these “data”-tracks but write them as a wav.anyone seen or heard anything about such a program? – by bobstooopid! (4:17pm est mon jul 16 2001)okay, lets put the instruction on cracking this(by me, not a rip, so give me, xaphan, the credit):1) buy an audio cable2) put the cd in you cdplayer3) connect the audio cable to you computer and then to your headphone jack4) get a recording program that will record your line in5) activate the program6) hit “play” on your cd playerw00t! – by xaphanthe riaa has a simple solution (2:24pm est fri jul 20 2001)the riaa has a simple solution. Just make cd's sound so horrible that no one will want to download them anymore.

13 year old girls will still buy nsync even if it sounds like there are singing from the inside of a toilet. – by riaa sucksthey can run but they can't hide! (2:08am est wed jul 25 2001)and they call us thieves they finally managed to pay off a few judges with the tons and tons of money they make by letting us extremely overpay for the music, who decided that spreading of information is illegal (napster) and now they try to stop us making copies for home use. If only they would sell it at more reasonable prices i wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Guess i have to take the old dcc recorder again, or use the digital input from my soundblaster live! Just takes up more time.

Anyway they won't stop me. – by stop the thieves“copy protection”=no $ale (10:27am est thu jul 26 2001)$orry riaa.

(6:46pm est thu jul 26 2001)try using isobuster. It reads a disc directly, bypassing the cd file system completely, even to the point of reading and extracting ps2 or mac cds. If it's 6 inches round and flat, (a cd) isobuster can read it. Find it on google or your local software downloading site. I have no problem paying an artist or his crew (tech, sound mixer, etc) for the music, but i refuse to pay a 3000 percent markup to pay a fuckin lawyer to sue a site / service for allowing me to obtain music that i can't buy! I prefer listening to oldies and movie tracks, even some asian music that is not sold here in the usa. Where can i get this?

I can't even buy most of this stuff online, because for the movies, they only choose the “popular” songs to include in their soundtrack cds, and where there might be 30 songs in a movie, the disc will only have 12! Where are the other 18 songs?

What about the background music? As for the asian music, the sales sites are often not in english, or they won't ship to the us. Sorry to the riaa, but you are trashing music for the rest of the world. They won't ship here because of the licensing they must get from the riaa. That does suck!long live the gnutella network!– by riaa sucks!  (7:39pm est thu jul 26 2001)if i ever get a copy protected cd, it will be going back to the store, and the store will take it back, or i will sue the riaa (and the store) for violation of my fair use rights, and i will do whatever i have to do to make it a class-action lawsuit (signatures on a petition, or whatever) – by a lawsuit to loosewhy?!?!?!

(7:48pm est thu jul 26 2001)the only reaon i ever used napster (and will continue to get free music) is so i could spite the riaa.“le napster est mort. Vive le napster!” (and fuck the riaa to hell and back!!!) – by christopher messicki wish napster never existed (1:22pm est tue aug 07 2001)you know back in the day, everyone who could pirate, would pirate everything.

And then napster came along, and now everyone in the world wants to pirate music and because of that, music industries are trying to put a stop to it. All of this cd protection mumbo jumbo would never be an issue if people just stuck to pirating the old fashion way such as dumping to public ftp's (file transfer protocol), or even mirc.because of all of this i am strictly sticking to movies because its a virtually untapped resource. There will be about another 5 years until the media starts paying attention to the movie industry. Oh ya check out – by paolobring out some good music (4:55pm est tue aug 07 2001)hey if you big time record companyswould put out some good music instead of britney and ricky freaking martin,put in a nice looking cover and some bandinfo on the disc.and it would be worth it to buy some music again.

– by phase57more p2p? (8:14am est wed aug 08 2001)if not may people can rip the cd (mainly cos they are lazy), then they will just go online find the song on and download it off someone who has spent the time to rip it (or someone who has copied it off them). Thus cd copy protection will just encorage the use of p2p. With more people having access to broadband if it is easier to download songs than rip them then people will download them.cd protection is stupid and pointless.cracks will be on:) – by jimoh yeah newsgroups (8:19am est wed aug 08 2001)alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 type newsgroups are amazing for new music as long as you dont mind sifting through all the crap american music (read pop,country,rap etc.).:) – by jimcd protection (1:14pm est thu aug 09 2001)it is pointless. All you are doing by making a cd that is protected is just giving someone a “job” to figure out how to get around it. i wanna record from a normal audio cd to my hard disc, but it does not copy.

Reply – by prem – by philwell i have all the music i want (11:16am est sat sep 29 2001)fuckem if they can't take a joke. I have every pink floyd album, enigma album, and delerium album thanks to napster. I will just listen to them and talk radio and make my kids play my old tapes for music. And who is doing it? The small bands, they offer you full quality mp3-songs on their sites, and i will be damned if i will not buy cds froms these bands (if i like the music).– by aguy200ur all not seeing the “big-picture” (12:01pm est sun dec 30 2001)if you try you'll find most protection is easy to overcome with the right software and knowhow. I try my hardest to avoid giving thhe music industry any money. – by hackerjackeven less sales (8:50pm est thu jan 17 2002)if they protect cd's, instead of buying them.

Just wait till somebody copies them and puts them on the internet for download – by wiredsickening greed (10:31am est sat jan 19 2002)ok, i understand, companies are entitled to their money. I'm willing to pay (i think near 20 bucks for a cd is a bit much – don't you, though?) but despite that when i buy cd's and i don't like every track, so i pick and choose. Music companies, get it through your head, you can't win this battle with force.

Your going to have to make a few changes in the way you produce and sell music and even advertise it. I don't give a hoot about any pop bands. I like hearing new things, and mostly stuff that isn't heard in the u.s.

Work with the consumer, instead of treating us like pins to put in square holes. – by mickeymuskrathow to copy cd's (7:42pm est fri feb 22 2002)i used win on cd to copy shakira's “laudry service” to my pc. Start the program, select “tracks” on the cd – burner and copy the audiotracks to your harddisk. Very easy, and the “copy protecting” didn't work. For the record: i own the cd – just wanted to listen to the music on my pc too. – by njet!shakira has copy protection?? (9:45am est mon feb 25 2002)njet,i didn't even know “laundry service” had copy protection, i recently bought the cd, and used audiocatalyst to rip mp3's for personal use with no trouble at all.

– by frankieghaha (3:02pm est mon feb 25 2002)stop worrying about copying cds, and start with the more important things. Like killing osama bin ladin. Or george bush, for that matter. Also, goddamn record companies, start marketing better products, and people will buy them.

For example, weed. Start selling weed, and i bet you'll have a lot of takers. You can't copy sensamilla, now, can you? – by eugene dempseyhelp needed (3:04pm est sat mar 23 2002)hi alli wrote a cd at a friends place and it is not reading in my cdrom and only works in his cd rw. It says it cannot be read by cdrom.

Can i read it with some software help. – by johnshakira (5:49pm est tue apr 16 2002)my “laundry service” is protected and win on cd can't read it, just like windows. Maybe you were lucky, or i was unlucky or something similar.#in every case this copy-protection is bullshit.

– by haewiecopy controls (6:58pm est wed apr 17 2002)why don't you just sue the record companies and claim you have a right not to be sold a copy-proof cd?(answer: no such right exists.) – by drjshakira cd ripped! (11:16am est thu apr 18 2002)i ripped shakira's cd easily.you just need two, one cd rom and one cd/rw rom.first you copy cd (i did it with nero)1. Option copy cd2. Click on chekbox ignore ilegal toc typewhen done, rip that cd with audiograbber.enjoy – by quoshakre: john (2:58pm est sat apr 20 2002)did you copy it as windows media player files (wma)? Your friend may have the option check box that says something esoteric along the lines copyright protection – this option only allows the copied file to be played on his computer only.you should turn off that option and try again. – by hmsimple solution (10:35pm est sun apr 21 2002)smart people crack the system, build up their collections.

When a bunch of people worldwide do this, the latest music will still be readily available on the net. I go to lan parties where it takes 1-2 seconds for each song. That is the best method for getting music as people that their entire mp3 collections with them. I get hard to find dance mp3 albums like ministry of sound cd's and then i go home happy. Screw this copy protection bullshit, it's only a temporary solution to a much bigger problem (for the record companies that is).

– by cyberfelonre: shakira cd ripped (7:01pm est thu apr 25 2002)thats pants if nero doesn't manage to crash my computer is sure as monkeys doesn't copy the shakira cd. I got an atapi 48x cdrom drive and a lite-on 16x cdrw drive.

Neither of which is recognising the cd. Tried it with nero 5.0.4.9, clone-cd, audiocatalyst and i'm baffled even resorted to trying it in ms-dos but thats not working. Anyone else got any bright ideas? Running on w98se by the way – by abortedchildrelax (1:23pm est wed may 08 2002)the more you worry, the worse it seems.the reality is that all the protected media formats that is popular will always be cracked.i don't know if this is the case with the latest audio protection, but i hear that it has been done already.dvd, this that and the other, they have all been cracked, so relax.

The idea here is to prevent the normal home user from copying cds. Trampling of fair use is just beginning. Myself, i don't want to buy cds. Because i don't want my house littered with hundreds of plastic/aluminium discs. I'll happily pay someone for the right to own their music, but i'd like it on my hard drive please.

I bought two cds last month, and i doubt that i will ever get them out of the boxes again, having copied them. So, it's a waste of space in my house, and a waste of resources to manufacture them. – by kentmainstream music??????? (1:48pm est fri nov 15 2002)i just purchased they might be giants dial-a-song 20 years of hits.

Can't convert it to my mp3 player. $35 ball and chain now. I wish the label would tell us that we cannot use our music as we see fit.

But the cd is opened and now not returnable. Nowhere on the box does it say it cannot be converted. Might this come under the truth in advertising laws???? – by befuddledbillhahahaha (9:37pm est mon nov 25 2002)my friend gave me the clipse lord willin cd to burn for him.

I decided i wanted a copy as well but i couldn't do it b/c of the copyright protection crap so i turned to kazaaa and proceeded to d/l the whole album. Someone who knew how to rip that shit did so and now, i'm sittin pretty and the record companies are out another 40 bucks- 2 cds worth for me and my friend. – by satisfiedcopy for personal use (12:08pm est sun dec 22 2002)i never buy copied cd's because alot of the time, bootleg items are of poor quality.i would like to buy a coping device for my personal use. I have too many cd's in my car & when i go to the health club i would like to listen to a cd compilation. Is a dc rw the best device or a cd recorder?

– by lilianincrease sales? (6:26pm est wed dec 25 2002)yes, i see how the best way to increase your sales is to make your product usable to less people. Encourages people to just download the songs in mp3 format from people who have good enough recording equipment to make an analoge copy and then convert it to mp3. – by s0h0901i can do it (6:41am est wed feb 05 2003)just passing by, so take it as a brief comment won't return as well, so go and search for it if you want tocopy protection are as functional as a bike might be to a fish i can do it (i mean, i can rip it, and i also can burn a copy of it). First of all, try to creat an image of the disc then, rip it with audio catalyst in analog mode (only the last track must be ripped that way – and quality won't be lower because of it).

You can also use clone cd (or clony) to burn it, but the “ass fucking copy protection” still will be there if you do that way (and the copied may nt work properly in some players). What i recomend is to rip it to data files, and then burn it with nero, cdrwin, or whatever you do preferthose copy protections sux, sux and swallow!!! They don't protect a thing, and only bothers you when trying to find correct players to read the cd – by l337 m45+3risobuster 1.2 rippes it! (12:01pm est sat feb 08 2003)try isobuster. I ripped robbie williams cd escapology (emi copy protected) with no hassle at all. – by klokkis@befuddledbill (3:35am est mon feb 10 2003)tell them it doesn't work in your player when you return it.because that's half-true.(if you can't make a copy of it.then what's the point of a no-return policy on cds???) – by crlwhat's this (11:02am est sun feb 16 2003)i found some thing @ microsucks' sitei guess it's quite interesting! – by maybeansolutionanother option (12:59am est fri mar 07 2003)if anyone has a new mindisc with the usb connection, just digitally record to minidisc using dvd, cd player digital outputs and send to computer using software given with minidisc.

Sweet as – by skywalkermassive attack (12:39am est fri mar 28 2003)i got massive attack 100th window and ripped it now probs. It says it is copy protected.

– by rowindows media player not a solution (5:46am est mon apr 28 2003)if you use windows media player, make sure you disable personal rights management first. I've heard of people losing their entire collection because they didn't do that. Also keep in mind wma only works in windows. You will have trouble using them anywhere else because m$ doesn't care about fair use either.you should always return copy protected cd's. Claim the cd's are defective because they will not work in your cd player (computer). If the store gives you a hard time, threaten to leave it at the store and put a stop payment (if possible) on the charge.

High return rates are the only thing that will stop them from doing these things. The more cd's you buy, the more $$ the recording industry will use against you. They have proven this. – by kazaalite userwhat man makes, man can break (12:17pm est tue apr 29 2003)audio cd copy protection? Bull sh$tonce again folks more has been released to scare you'll. I never leave public messages but you guys got to know they can stop what we do. The cd created has no protection.7.

I want remain honest but emi is forcing honest purchasers to cheat to get the music we payed for. This is just wrong.
