Little High People Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 i just recieved a cd from europe in the mail as a gift ("good juice," a blue note comp. of organ stuff). it says it is copy protected. unfortunately the info on the back cover regarding the copy protection is in french. i want to rip this disc to mp3 format. will i be able to, or is there something i need to do to get around it? does anyone know if the copy protection BN uses in europe messes with the audio quality? thank you for your help.

Claude Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) The european EMI CDs use the Cactus Datashield CDS200 copy protection. You can easily find detailed and independent info by doing a web search. Quote i want to rip this disc to mp3 format. will i be able to, or is there something i need to do to get around it? Unfortunately, providing information on ways to circumvent copy protection is illegal in the US (DMCA) and in the EU (new copyright directive). But you will be able to find it. The shift key trick does NOT work with CDS Quote does anyone know if the copy protection BN uses in europe messes with the audio quality The owner of CDS -Macrovision-, says it does not affect sound quality. I haven't yet seen any independent comparision of protected and unprotected CDs, although this could easily be done, as the same titles are still unprotected in the US. It probably depends on the way the CD player copes with errors on the disc. Edited October 14, 2003 by Claude Quote
