Ripping Protected CDs

[solid snake295]

i just bought the new Beastie Boys CD, "to the 5 boroughs" ( it rocks) and its copy protected, im not trying to copy it to another CD, i just want to move the songs onto my hard drive so i can listen to them long after i loose the CD. the problem im having is when i try to play the CD in windows media player it will play the first 15 seconds or so of each song then freeze up the player. i want it on my computer because i have it hooked through my surround sound system, i guess i could just use my PS2 to play it but thats just a pain in the arse.
i kinda trailed off there, anyways i tried to use alcohol 120% but i couldnt find out what kind of data type (copy protection) it has (eg. Securom, Safedisc ect)
if anyone could tell me where i could find this info that would be super :thumbs: :ghey:

i hope this doesnt start an argument about warez and s**t because i would hate to have to shoot someone :mellow:

Use alcohol marker and cover the begining of CD, that is the first ring (with barcode) from inside, this is the way how you get passed over a few million dolar protection. Then when you are finised, you clean CD with alcohol.

haha, there is an even cooler way. All you have to do is put it in a CD player and runa line into your line-in port in the back. Then simply hit the record button :thumbs: Streaming music is wonderful fun

Agreed This method works well I know I&#39;ve tried it. Sometimes the song is a little fuzzy but you can hardly nootice it&#33;

I make a copy of every CD that I buy, so I can leave the original at home and take a burnt copy w/ me in the car so I don&#39;t ruin an original by accident. ITunes has ripped every CD that I&#39;ve ever tried (about 80 of them). That is ripping, too, not just making a straight copy.
