rip it as a wave file (using CDex) and then burn using nero

[Avan]

thats my problem......its one of those new cd's which cant be read by your cdrom drive.....

but i heard there was a way for it....maybe you know it?

[techno]

???? That can't be read on your CDROM drives? EH???

lol

[hacker_on_fire]

there's always a way. any protection can be broken, eventually

There was an article written about two months ago that disclosed that the protection of such CDs is easily defeated by simply darkening the outer track with a black felt tip marking pen - much to Sony's dismay (Sony spent/paid millions for the development of this protection scheme)...

i heard of that
i couldn't stop laughing.

LOL.

yea get this program called clone cd. Its a program for "backing up your music and games" that have copy protection. Its only a 30 day trial but you can find the serial online.

To Deus

The nature of this new CD protection precludes using CD copying software, because the "fake" Track 1 prevents your player/burner from "seeing" the CD...

(By the way, my initial post on this topic should have referred to the INNERMOST track, rather than the OUTERMOST track)

i have clonecd and i always copy my cd's with it and have no problem. but,

im talking about those music cd's that simply wont get readen by your cd-writer.... you put it in, and the drive will be trying to read it for a few times and then he just spits it out again....

on the cover it also says 'this cd will not play on pc/mac'

but there must be a way to get them copied... but how?

[techno]

maybe there is...? There are new hi fi players with ability to record CD's.....maybe that will work???

[Avan]

i need to get them copied on my computer's cd-writer.......

As i mentioned (and modified) in my previous posts:

the protection of such CDs is easily defeated by simply darkening the innermost track with a black felt tip marking pen...

Read the following article:

hmmm....

I tried that but didn't work, and it was a highly encrypted CD too.

The software I used to rip it, didn't work, it crashed on me all the time, and I used over 4-7 different rippers.

maybe this one is slightly different(?)
