Copy protected CD's

[Willow]

I'm trying to copy a CD I have bought to my hard drive, but it will only play on the player that loads from the CD.

Does anyone know how to get around the protection so Windows Media player can see the tracks?

Pain in the arse when I've legitimately bought the music and can't listen to it how I want to.

I was able to upload a copy protected CD to my iTunes the other week. Try iTunes.

Cheers Dolph, I'll give that a try. It's a Japanese import, aptly.

I turn the autorun off for comp so that it doesn't detect its copy protected

Only way i can get music i have legally acquired onto my mp3 player

You're generally screwed on Windows; however a Mac or a Linux/BSD/BeOS install on a PC can rip close to anything (including CDs too damaged for windows to read)

Cd clone works

Hold down either the shift or control key (sorry, can't remember which) while it's loading up.

Turn off autorun or hold down the shift key. Both should stop the autoloading protection. Failing that, limewire, shareaza, etc and get the tracks from the internet.
