There will ALWAYS be a way of copying the audio. After all, if you wanted to push it to the extreme, you could always play the CD in a half-decent CD player, plug the digital out (or analogue out if they've protected digital signals) into another device or a computer then just record. No way they can stop that ... schemes like the Anti-VCR stuff on DVDs won't fix that for instance because there is no intelligence in the recorder that can be 'fooled' that can't be 'turned off'. - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
