Ripping for MY OWN compilations

DoctorWally	Date: September 14, 2003 @ 10:19 AM I understand why the record companies feel they have to copy protect their music but i feel they are going about it the wrong way. True music lovers are being punished for doing nothing wrong. I have just got my way round ripping off WHOLE copy protected CDs to make a copy for car/office/bedroom etc. but does anyone know how to rip SINGLE tracks off copy protected CDS?

Etheracide	Date: September 18, 2003 @ 2:32 AM My other band, Abigail's End, have copy protected our demo hehe And you can actually write the error message that you want to appear when someone tries ripping tracks from the album or the entire album.
gigaman	Date: September 26, 2003 @ 2:43 PM Its absued the way they are going about this whole thing the price you pay for these cds is unreal you should be able to copy they are not made to last forever but the love for the music on them might. The reason they do it because they are afraid they will be turned into mp3s and shared over the internet they call it copyright infringment but its all wrong because its not realy a copy mp3s do not sound the same by a long shot so where they get all this #$%* fom anyway.

GeneHilbert	Date: September 26, 2003 @ 5:45 PM I was a big Napster fan - I never really D/L'ed just to library. But occasionally I needed a copy of a tune I wanted to learn & that site was a perfect resource for that. I had known about Metallica since the early '80 and could take or leave them. So while on Napster I heard some Metallica tunes that were really kewl & I was actually going to buy a couple of their CD's based on the fact that I had heard the tunes on Napster. So... because of their child-like behavior concerning the Napster issues - not only did I NOT buy their CD's – I came to realize what a bunch of whinny-assed pussies they really were..... Metallica-coochie-coochie-coo So in a strange turn of events Napster's demise saved me $30.00

joshyd87	Date: October 24, 2003 @ 5:52 PM The RIAA are stupid instead of making CD quality better like scratch resistent CD's they make it so there easy to scratch CD's are harder to make copy's off it's bull I'd start buying CD's weekly if the were scratch proof or something close to it
GeneHilbert	Date: October 24, 2003 @ 6:00 PM It's easy to scratch proof your CD's. When you are done using them - put them back in their cases or paper CD envelopes. Nothing is indestructible & just when you think things are idiot-proof - along comes a better idiot.
Zuckuss	Date: October 26, 2003 @ 7:13 PM DoctorWally - afterdawn.com is a good place for the info you want. Just go to the forums section and click the 'Audio'category. joshy - get a cheap cd burner and make copies for regular use so you can keep the original mint. I've seen 50-packs of blank cd-rs for 7 bucks on special at Fry's.
GeneHilbert	Date: October 26, 2003 @ 10:30 PM I normally get my blanks from Sam's Club 100 Verbatim CD's spindled for 22.95. I’ve used them for years and have never had a quality issue. I've also got them there on special for 14.95 occasionally. Slim line cases for 10.95. So both for .34 cents ea.
pog	Date: October 28, 2003 @ 9:34 PM If you wish to rip one file, it may be possible by setting your ripper to analogue mode, and rip the track at 1x speed. If that doesn't work, another way would be to plug a cd player's headphone out jack into the line in to your pc, and record it with something like cooledit pro. Then you can just cut it up, and save it as whatever you want.
AgentSquishy	Date: December 6, 2003 @ 7:57 PM About scratched CD's... you can't always keep CD's in perfect condition... some crummy CD-players can scratch CD's.

comorbid	Date: January 18, 2004 @ 3:06 PM I've gotten CDs that were scratched or something else that made them play kinda wonky right out of the case. And I've had CD binders cause label-side damage. Hooray for SkipDr. shrugs
comorbid	Date: January 18, 2004 @ 3:07 PM Well, I mean, it doesn't fix label-side damage but hooray for it, anyway.
woodhead	Date: January 18, 2004 @ 3:23 PM if it is the new technology, Before you load the cd hold the cntrl key down (or shift one of the two) load the cd then you should be able too, you have to disable the function that makes it un burnable is all. If it is old tech, (white ring around the cd) use a sharpie and color it in then the your disk drive can see it.
OneUnderAttack	Date: February 20, 2004 @ 11:22 PM I heard in the old tech cds the sharpie works but there is allways a way to get around things. That is why I buy from bands that allow ripping of music. 311, Incubus, Pulse Ultra, From Zero, Blindside, Alien Ant Farm, pretty much any real good music, cause the bands don't care about the Industry, and actually a lot of them diss the RIAA.
robbydadrummer	Date: February 20, 2004 @ 11:31 PM The bands don't make shit from the album sales, that's why many of them diss their respective label and the RIAA. The Offspring is another band... wanted to release their first single on the net themselves to promote sales, but their label (a Sony subsidary) banned them from doing so. So what has the album done? Basically nothing. Labels are only in this for themselves. They truly do no care about the musical artists other than how to make money off them. Bands make their money touring and selling their own merchandise.
OneUnderAttack	Date: February 21, 2004 @ 12:51 AM yeah, clear channel is trying to take away the concert and merchandise sales too. so were pretty much fu*ked all in the same.
robbydadrummer	Date: February 21, 2004 @ 4:24 PM you "ClearChannel"... a truly EVIL orginization.
robbydadrummer	Date: February 21, 2004 @ 4:25 PM Hmmmm... I don't remember putting the 'you' in there...
FuRY1671	Date: February 24, 2004 @ 5:11 PM You guys remember that CD-Protection that was beaten by a kid and a Black Marker? Well no matter how much the Copy protection increases, so will the cracks and other ways around. Most of the time, the answers are always simple. ~Fury
