That's not what I meant, sorry -- I should have been clearer. Does the copy-protection scheme render the store-bought discs unreadable on an MP3/CD player? This is a discman that reads both ISO9600 CD's and Audio CD's. The Star Wars soundtrack has been available on the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3s newsgroup for at least a month. Somehow I doubt any copy-protection schemes the companies can come up with will prevent a truly determined person from ripping them.
