FWIW, Metallica's Garage Inc (the second disc) has some sort of
anti-copy distortion. You can actually see a pattern on the data side
of the disc. The result when you encode it via MP3 is some slight
distortion, even at 160kb/s. It's pretty bearable though. I would
expect that a bit-for-bit copy would not have any issues though. It's
not copy protection, it's ripping protection.
Given that Metallica uses heavily distorted guitars anyway, who would
notice?
You notice in the cymbals the most :) And Ulrich uses a lot of cymbals.
But you are right, the guitars aren't as noticeable (you can still hear it
though).
