Kings of Leon - Copy protected

Paul, there's a thread about copy protected CDs, including examples of CDs that are and what people have done to overcome the problem, at:

If you know anyone with one of the new iBooks (900 MHz) you might just get them to rip you a copy, since the CD rips fine on those machines. I have one, and so far I haven't found a copy protected CD that hasn't ripped just fine - including 'Youth and Young Manhood'.

If nothing works, I can burn you a copy and we can figure out some useful quid pro quo - perhaps you have a record on CD that I only have on vinyl, then you could do me a 'legal' copy. PM me if it's your only way out.

OK Good news

I have managed to do it.

I downloaded clone cd 4 at the following location http://www.elby.ch/en/products/clone_cd/index.html

and then I copied the CD to a blank cd using the audio cd option.

I then put the copy cd into the player and it showed up in MC9 with just the audio tracks

I then ripped it no problem.

Thanks for the help Jackonicko...

In the end I found a site that talked about clonecd4, it said that it would now work on some players, but it worked on mine.

Anyway just thought you would all like to know, this seems to be the way around it.

Cheers,

Paul

I guess you could have just tried dowloading the tracks from Kazaa if they are up there in decent quality, which I am sure they are. Raises an interesting legal question though when you are forced to download tracks using P2P because the medium that you bought does not allow you to fully make use of the product!

Bogus track posting is probably being done by the record companies - they intend to make the likes of Kazaa unreliable. A kind of audio sabotage......
