| 199393 | 2003-12-11 03:50:00 | I have an audio cd that has "enhanced content". When I put it in my cd drive (diamond data cdrw) it spins for like a second then goes quiet, then spins again but never "picks up" anything on the cd. If I go run > d: (my cd drive) it just says "insert a cd into d:". I'd really like to be able to have a look at the "enhanced content" on this cd!!! My op sys is Windows XP Home. The cd is "Linkin Park - Meteora". Thanks. |

| 199394 | 2003-12-11 04:08:00 | just read the fineprint "CERTAIN COMPUTERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE ENHANCED MEDIA CD PORTION OF THIS DISC, NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR NOR THE DEVELOPER MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, OR ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE ENHANCED CD PORTION OF THIS DISC" That sucks. There is a sticker on the front advertising: "The first single "Somwhere I belong". A 17 minute short film "the art of meteora" Plus exclusive access to web based media - and more ..." They shouldn't be able to advertise that. |

| 199396 | 2003-12-11 04:49:00 | Well, they say "exclusive access". So you don't meet their standards. :D We can't have just anyone seeing this fine material. ]:) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 199397 | 2003-12-11 05:06:00 | Not meaning to be rude, but I highly doubt that holding down a button will disable Copy-Protection.. Some protection if that's all you have to do to beat it! Holding down shift should however disable auto-run, but that will likely be of precious little use to you if it wont pick up the extended part of the CD-ROM. Try taking it to a friends PC and copying the data files from it onto a new CD-R (Not the Audio, JUST the data) and that may help :-) |

| 199399 | 2003-12-11 06:01:00 | Actually Chilling the funny thing is the most widely used copy protection on audio discs can be bypassed by simply holding down the Shift key while putting the disc in. Apparently this most commonly used copy protection loads using the autoplay function and if you bypass the autoload with the shift key that breaks the method of the protection. It does not work on every audio CD copy protection just the most widely adopted method so far. It was discussed online by a number of people some 2 months ago overseas and everybody was having a good laugh about it (as one should). But with any of the audio CD copy protections you can get around it by copying the audio output directly from the line out on a player into the line in of a audio capture card and hit record. Burn recorded audio file to another disc and bingo dead copy protection on the copy. |

Please accept my humble apologies then kiwibeat.... > It was discussed online > by a number of people some 2 months ago overseas and > everybody was having a good laugh about it (as one > should).

An I've already done that once myself :8} No fear, they have been able to break any copy protection made so far...! XBox doesnt notice the copy protection on any CD's Ive tried so far etiher! |
