Hi there I don’t know how this reflects on the forum guide lines but this article explains a possible method to overcome audio CD copy protection.
Firstly this should not be used to infringe upon the respective copy-right of the music studio!
“My rant” - fair enough to have copy protection but the crappy “player” software included makes the CD sound awful! And because it is actively re-sampling it uses a shed-load of cpu time! If you are in a similar situation to me at uni, or similar and only have your PC as an audio playback device, it is really annoying that you go out and buy a title and it sounds worse than the mp3s you could have downloaded from the net!
The only solution is ripping the cd yourself and putting the original on your shelf to gather dust.
Anyway here is the ultra-sophistic solution: - hold “shift” when you put your CD hence disabling AUTORUN then when you open your fav ripping package all tracks are available!

Oh one of you mods might like to post the origional article on the news page ??
*UPDATE* - This appears to only work on bmgs software
