I got a Janes Addiction CD that had "copy protection" on it. I wanted to put the CD on my iPod, so all i did was put it in my mac and imported it normally using iTunes. supposedly there was all this copy protection and what not on the disc, and sure enough if i looked in the CD along with the audio tracks was a bunch of executables etc... probably only work on Windoze... I aint complaining, at least i was able to listen to the music on my ipod on the way home on the plane, where you're supposedly not allowed to listen to CDs due to interference... the copy protection stuff on CDs is whack… I got a Janes Addiction CD that had “copy protection” on it.

So, if I can't rip the CD I bought so I can listen to it on the road, I'll just download the mp3s. All that copy protection stuff is just a hassle - but certainly no protection.
