Most of my CDs were created before Napster made things difficult for computer music, but thanks for looking out for us.

The copy protection is getting pretty rough. They put beeps and junk into the audio as you rip to disk. I don't know how they do it. It must be some exploit in the AUDIO CD format. The Audio industry has hackers working for them now. I see a technical war comming between those that want free music and those that want you to pay for it.

I think the next step for those that want free music is to make a CD player device that has the normal access to the digital information. The back end of the device would have to write out the "clean data" to something like a cdburner. It may have to be done in real time (74 minutes to make a clean copy). That might suck. Also, if you're going to pay for a device to rip CDs, why not just buy the CDs? :x
