Hi all,
A very merry xmas to all.
I bought my wife a couple of Cd's that I would like <grin> and didn't realise
that they are copy protected but list that they can be played on a windows
machine.
I convert all my Cd's into MP3 using grip and listen to them on my linux box.
Has anybody any info, tips, progs that will allow me to rip the Cd's? ( After
Christmas of course)
I had vowed never to buy any copy protected Cd's for this very reason. How do
people who only have MP3 players get on with these corrupt Cd's.
Any comments welcome
regards
Paul
Hello, merry xmas to you too. I have a couple of copy-protected audio
CDs, which I've not been able to rip using Linux (tried CDDA2WAV &
paranoia on two different, quite new, drives). But I've successfully
ripped them in WinXP without doing anything special (my laptop declares
war everytime I try to install Linux on it). I used Easy CD Creator,
which just ignored all copy protection on the CDs and ripped them
happily to proper WAV files (not talking about the WMA crap included on
many of these CDs). This may be because of a different drive, but may
also be software related, I don't know. I try to avoid all CD products
that are sold in a damaged state. Try different drives or try to rip
them on an XP install, if that's possible for you.
