well, fuck that. however, atleast its an attempt to control file-sharing through technology, instead of giving people the technology to share and then prosecuting them for using it. Apparently Dave Matthews band is using this...ppffft.

The new Foo Fighters supposedly is unrippable/unplayable in cars as well.

Good thing the chances of me buying either of those albums is slim and none.

You can rip the Foo Fighters but it's annoying and complicated. My husband found a workaround, but you basically end up copying it twice before you can do anything.

Apparently Mr Grohl says if you want it on your ipod, you can go ahead and buy it from i-tunes, in addition to having the cd. Hey Dave: bite me.

SACDs are unrippable - ie Judas Priest.

xxpost-yeah right-it could almost be seen as a favor. fuck them anyway, though.

Turn off autoplay and it will rip. You should have that annoying garbage off anyways.

not always. i have a couple of cds where due to the copy protection the drive simply won't read the data properly, resulting in glitches and digital noise sporadically throughout the audio.

So far every album mentioned in this thread is available in great quantity all over p2p.

I am amazed that Immer, which I just bought today, has had no problems importing! Considering that both Kompakt 100 and Superpitcher's Today gave me fits.

Copy-protected CDs: safe from p2p until one guy with a stereo, a PC, and an RCA-to-mini cable buys one.

if eardrums can hear an album, it is rippable, period. it may not be the best quality, but for most people, it's good enough.

exact audio copy has no problem with emi's copy protected cds.
there is also the option of going old skool and copying in real time.
