This is what you do...
If you have a Sony title that you would like to hear (and have to have), do one or all of these...
•DON'T buy it! Wait until poor sales (from everyone else boycotting) drive the price down to what it should be: $1.98•Buy it USED (see the price in #1)•Borrow it when your local library gets it and then...•TAPE IT! Invest in a cheap tape deck and transfer it to audio tape. Then port the tape into your PC. From there, burn it onto CD! So you lose a little in the generation loss--better that than your Mac's/PC's CD-ROM/DVD-ROM blowing up.You can hum a few bars of "Sony Kiss My @$$" as their music division goes down in flames...MUAHAHAHAHAHA

All we need is software smart enough to add track breaks and we are set,full copy automation, gee i guess those smart execs solved the copyright problem. -- oooookay.........
reply to BellBoy Don't even bother with taping it. Many home cd players these days have S/PDIF outputs that would plug nicely into some better quality sounds cards. I've got a Sony (how ironic eh?) home deck with S/PDIF outputs that I could plug into my Layla sound card (used for my home studio). Just hit play on the deck and record on the pc and guess what. CD quality sound that never left the digital realm. No sound quality loss that 99% of the listeners could ever possibly detect. Could it be any easier? Maybe if you didn't have that kind of setup but there are tons of other people out there like me with similar capabilities that are more than willing to share.

That's a great idea and I thought of that, however I thought I'd mention a lower tech version for our more technologically-challenged readers... -- I'm not an ASI tech, but I play one on TV...
