Okay, here's good news for people who like to copy music off CD's but are annoyed by the musik biz's futile attempt at "copy protection". Theres a zipfile floating around the internet in it with a Windows system component called cdfs.vxd.
This component does the exact same thing as one made by microsoft and that comes with windows...but with one crucial difference.
If gives you access to folders hidden on every audio CD...wherein lies perfectly copyable WAV files of each track.
Just go to Stereo\16 Bit\44100Hz\, right click on the tracks, copy.
It's really that easy. hahahaha!

Linux users can just use cdparanoia. It 'filters out' the copy-prevention.

That's completely awesome. Seriously.
