Copyright cd's

[lori62]

Can you anyone help. What do I need to copy a copyrighted audio cd to my mp3 player? The new Kylie cd has some copy controlled software on it. All I want to do is copy in mp3 format to my player.

http://www.fatchucks.com/z3.cd.html - it might be a CD which contains audio, but it is NOT a valid audio CD.

Various protection methods are used, from the one that can be beaten merely by holding the SHIFT key on insertion, to those which are heavily drive/software dependent.

If all else fails, play it through to line-in from an external player and re-record, if you're MP3-ing at "portable" size, the loss of absolute digital precision should not make much difference.

Hi lori62, Welcome to our forum!

the ability to bypass audio copy protections depends mainly on the reading device you use;
if the hardware is able to handle these, then EAC is a good software partner;

here is a nice tutorial about AudioCD protections: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46159
