For one if they were stupid enough to install WMP10! then they deserve to never copy a cd again. The inbuilt DRM features of that alone are worse than that on any cd. It probably corrupts the ASPI layer in some way. Only a version or two to go before it stops playing MP3 altogether and forces you to convert them to WMA, then deletes the original MP3. What's needed is a complete disable of autoplay, and then use EAC on paranoid mode. Better yet Linux should have something that should do it nicely.	kiki (762)

Maybe I had an early night, and am thinking more clearly than you, but I happen to think that 3 copies is more than "The Average JoBlow" will ever want to backup. How many times can you damage a CD? Maybe you should try to be more careful in the way you handle them??????? I have an extensive LP and CD collection [in the region of 500] and EVERY copy is in pristine condition.

If you had agreed, your copy(s) would probably have been perfect.	Baldy (26)
243672	2004-06-12 02:35:00	So people should install software that limits the use of there computer in order to play a cd of music they paid for? and you claim to think more clearly?,Your views while different are hardly a product of clearer thinking. >Perhaps you should do a search on Google to find out the ABC's of looking after stuff that you paid good money for Suck it in old chap,i would rather give a knee jerk reaction to utter claptrap like this but i shall refrain.....	metla (154)
243673	2004-06-12 03:59:00	I have many copies of my CD's. I install them to my hard drive and then burn them to various disc's for my own personal listening pleasure. As far as I am concerned I paid for the right to use the music myself as many times as I required not just 3. Are they discounting the price of the CD as it is a limited usage unit? I do not want to have to insert a disc for the 3 to 4 tracks I often listen to on my DVD/CD player and then have to change it, I want to make my own selections and listen to the music I want and paid for. I for one will be looking very carefully for any DRM CD's and voting with my wallet. The record companies in their haste to make more money has just lost any they may have been going to get from me.	dipstick01 (445)
