| This is total B*llSh*t How many ways can you say THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION ? If I want something from you bad enough, it not a matter of if I am going to get it, but when. I thought artists were supposed to creative, intelligent
people. Like others have said before me, cut the cord to the headphones
and splice; Swab the CD player in fingernail polish remover to dissolve the glue, and hey ,
you got what you want. Want to go non destructive ? how about :
1) inductive stereo pickup on headphone made from (guess what )
other headphones, jacked into stereo preamp connected to computer for
direct ripping to mp3 format. And then on to Kazaa, or your favorite P2P
2) take back cover of cd off and look for digital serial out on cd, connect to sound processor card on computer for crisp digital audio.
3) use acoustically coupled microphones attached to headphones for same
effect as process 1.
any more ideas ?

Let's put this all in perspective. These are players that are given to music reviewers so that pre-released CD's can be reviewed. The record company is merely trying to keep that CD from leaking out. I don't what the problem is here. It's not like you, the consumer, is buying a cd inside of an encased player that you cannot get to. It's reviewers that are getting these things. Sure somebody can get around it, but really people. This is not come fascist plot by the recording industry to control content like all the other crap they are trying to pull off.

Your not too bright are you? Splice the cord? If you splice the cord its kind of obvious that the device has been tampered with... |

I don't think anyone understands this. No end-users will be able to buy/rent/steal these sealed players from a store...there are probably only a dozen or so in existence. |

If they send this umm "Copy proof" walkman to radio stations, there has to be a way for the DJ to wire it to their equipment, and I don't think any of them will be down to put the headphones to the mic....I didn't read the whole article, so I don't know if anything was mentioned about that part of the deal.... |

According to the article it's reviewers only. Like guys from Rolling Stone and stuff like that. If they are sending pre-released albums to DJ's at radio station they are already conceding that the music is going to get serious rotation. These little "glueman" players are only for reviewers. It's like when movie reviewers go to pre-screening of movies so the reviews are out the same day the movie is released.
