so just about any music made before 1985ish you wont come close to? because back then...they didnt have anything but cassettes...which arent digital. and like others have said...you cant get a digital copy out of an analog one...

Speaking as one who was there, I can definitely disagree with that.

We had these strange plastic pancakes with a scratchy groove. They were capable of holding 20 minutes (per side) of pretty high-fidelity audio, though there was no easy way to reproduce them.

For reproducing audio, we used this other device called a 'tape recorder'.

lol dave. I dont know i think those old disks were better than todays cds. Sure there was some light background hissing but you know i sort of miss that little hiss. It added a warmth to the music not matter what your tastes that todays cds and dats just dont have. How ever some record lables are now produceing digital recordings of those old records with out filtering out the background hiss. Nothing like listening to styxx the way it was ment to be heard

Damn i think i just gave away my age with that one

How about playing the CD through a player with digital out.
Record the results on a soundcard with digital in?

Likly wnt help. The digital the part most love so much is also how the copy protection works in many cases.

cant some cd's be disabled with just a simple black marker? then the cd's hologram cant be read by the laster, because it is masked by the black opaque ink of the marker.

But, when played in a regular stereo, the unrestriced tracks are accessed. So, they would not be encrypted.

use linux. This isn't an easy fix i know but it does wonders at copying data.

1. boot damnsmalllinux CD toram
2. put in other music CD See if it plays.
3. copy files. or make iso and mount iso then copy files inside.
4. put files on USB Flash drive
5. put flash drive in Windows box.

Lots of steps left out.

How about ripping the cd to Media Player as .wma files, then burning a new disc using the create music cd option on Media Player. Then take that cd and rip the tracks as .mp3 with Winamp. I doubt there copy protection can survive multiple format changing. Its more over copy limiting rather than protection anyway.

Use common sense

1. Don't buy copy-protected cds
2. Take the money you saved and buy some Cheez Whiz
3. Enjoy Cheez Whiz. Good on crackers.

I don't know, but I think a recording of me eating Cheez Whiz topped crackers would probably sound as good as mikedurrbeck's uncompressed>compressed>decompressed>recompressed idea.

I'm all for copy protection, whether it's Music/Films/Software whatever. And so would you be i imagine if you produced similar work.
I'm not for copy protection. I buy my software, but people with cracked games, dowloading lossless format music, and software that doesn't have activation have it easier than paying customers. What's the point of copy protection then?

Copy protection will always be cracked, & the paying consumer will have the hassles with the crap, like Starforce.

Why is this in the Security forum anyway?

there is a better way to do this

buy for 19.99$

"Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition "

Connect the audio out (3.5mm jack) to your line in(3.5mm jack) and recored it from there

they can not put copy Protection because there would be no way for the headphones to decode it

I have a question. I know all CDs, etc. are copyrighted, but do they disclose this new technology on the Cd? And do they disclose that they will install a driver on your computer?

If you just wanted to play a CD on the computer and used the shift key so it wouldn't auto-run, when you clicked on the D Drive to play it, does that prevent it from installing that driver? Or are you doomed to get this driver installed by playing it?

I just looked at 4 new CDs of my daughter's and the only thing I see is FBI warnings about copying.

Sincerely, Libra

Hm, used to be that if Philips cd logo was on the cover then it was safe to buy, when in doubt put it back. Are you saying that this doesn't apply anymore?
