CD Ripping Trouble

[¤]´)÷¤--§îr Äürøñ--¤÷(`[¤]

Well folks, my girlfriend very kindly got me Placebo - Once more with feeling, bless her.

I've just got one problem. I can't rip the tracks to MP3....with ANYTHING. I have tried every documented trick I know. Disable autorun, CD Image dumping, error correction ripping, the lot. Nothing gives me a clean audio rip.

Has anyone else got this CD and successfully ripped it?

What I *do* know, is that it's protected by the CDS-200 system, designed by Macrovision. It includes an application for playing the music, which converts the music in real time. There are a total of 20 tracks on the disk, 19 are the music tracks, 1 data track. I know that the music tracks are corrupted, and that the player somehow fixes the deliberate errors in the tracks.

Any help appreciated.

See, normally this is where I decide to quote myself in a really pretty way, with lots of colours.

But hey, it's christmas. I don't feel the need to repeat myself, after all. Though when I say "I have tried every documented trick I know", you can be pretty sure that includes both Windows Media player AND Alcohol 120%.

if its one of the sony artists they added spyware material and such to block it from being burned.........

My best guess to rip it would be to urm.......

i know itunes always works. but i highly doubt thats something ull want to use. doesnt let you change it to an mp3 but it lets u listen without cd ofcourse.

Simple: Where else am I going to go for a community that actively encourages breaking copyright laws and does not attempt to censor the information to do so in any way?

This thread ought to be removed. It appears to be a bug in the ripping engines used by the programs i've used.

Through the use of WinampPRO, i've been able to get the music sorted.

Thanks to everyone who helped...Farril & Mental.
