Michael Jackson Releases Uncopyable CD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everyone-likes-a-challange dept.

Derek Jeter writes "NTK.net is reporting in their weekly newsletter that another copy restricted CD has surfaced, this time Michael Jackson's newest single, "Rock Your World". "When loaded into the CD drive, the disc spun continuously as though the drive was trying to access the TOC of a blank or corrupted CDR." Ughh, Doesn't this violoate the Red Book Standard?" I wonder how long before MP3s of this song exist despite the copy protection. So far its just free promotional copies of the single. I tell ya I'm gonna be pissed the first time I buy a CD and discover I can't listen to it in my computer.

  1. Copying this stuff? easy. by shadowlight1 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hook a regular CD player into the audio in of your sound card, and sample with a .wav software program like Sound Forge. If it's a digital in, you won't even have any reduction in quality.

    Then, convert to MP3.

    Well, that was easy, wasn't it?

    Take a CD player with digital outputs, and a sound card with digital inputs.

    La Voila.
