Ripping my CD (legally).

I would like to know if there is a way to rip this intelligent CD onto mp3. I use my mp3 player through the car instead of using CD player.... I love Gessle music/albums/covers so much that I do not want them living in my car!!!

I tried my laptop but crappy CD embedded player pops up and the others recognise it as a Data CD.... grrrr

Peter try using nero, it worked fine for me.

Jud (moderator) said on :

Audiograbber used to work too..

roxlad said on :

I hate the fact that we cannot rip cd’s. I mean nearly everybody has an MP3 player somewhere and why shouldn’t I be able to transfer my favourite legally bought cd on my player?????? Anyhow.... what you should do is to insert your cd in the player and at the same time you close the tray hold the shift button. The laser will start reading the disc, when you see that the player isn’t reading the disc anymore (the led of the player is not flashing) release the shift button. This way the cd won’t run automatically (ie. the stupid player on the cd won’t pop up). Then use Nero or CD’n’Go to rip your disc. Remember not to click on the icon of your cd-rom ’cos if you do you’ll let the player on the disc open.

Nero works fine.

Can’t they see that this attempt to copy protect CD’s just isn’t working? When talking about computer technology, there’s always a way around almost anything. Technology evolves...

Take care!

Same problem as PeterGm. Nero, Audiograbber, CDeX don´t work. Hate this stupid ideas. Why they do this stupidities. Album has been already online before the releasing. They get sickens all the fair fans who buy CDs.

Maybe CD-DA Extractor?

ally77 said on :

No problems ripping it here neither, did within about 5 minutes of it arriving! Been listening to it on my mp3 all day!

Krischan said on :

I searched forums, tried every possible software - failure. I’m definetly pissed. Sent a mail to emi.se. Guess what happened - nothing. I bought an item that doesn’t work properly and I can’t do anything about it. Thing is, that you gotta buy the Non-CD if you want to listen. So you really ain’t got a chance. Thank you, EMI!

Vixzter said on :

I hold down left shift to stop auto run and then use cd-ex v1.3 to mp3 them, works 99.9% of the time. and yes it worked with Gessle’s latest.

PiterPam said on :

try musicmatch. it worked on every cp cd that i have.

PeterGm said on :

Have tried several and no luck...CDRipper, MusicMatch, Audiograbber... will play around with the shift button thing and other stuff... otherwise will commit suicide.

I dont want to have this flimsy digipack in my car so that everytime i have to swith CD, i spoil the cardboard! grrr...

...

none work...I think it could just be my laptop... will try at work tomorrow ... shhhhh.

If not, will download from Torrent or whatever...

Sascha said on :

It works fine with iTunes – on Mac and Windows!

pietROxette said on :

I’ve used CDEX to create mp3 files - it went pretty fine, just like with non-Copy Controlled CDs. Try this: insert the CD, wait for the player to pop-up, stop the album playing and quit the player. Then open CDEX, it’ll read the CD infromation and you can start creating mp3 files.

PeterGm said on :

nothing seems to be working...so the best solution is doing it the traditional way :) Line-In and press REC ;)

RobS said on :

Download IsoBuster from www.isobuster.com.

It should be as simple as selecting the drive, right-clicking the session that the data is on, and then “extract user data”. It’ll be in .WAV format, but you can use any other program to convert that to MP3/WMA/OGG etc...

If you’ve got any questions just email me :-)

Also it might be the drive that your using, I just tried “The Change” with my DVD drive and it wouldn’t rip the tracks, but my CD-RW worked fine.

Krischan said on :

@rob: Iso buster is producing read errors, several other programs cannot transfer data track to mp3. This is driving me mad.

(Edit)
News flash: Everythings fine now!!! Depends on the drive/program combination. Took my wife’s laptop, used another software - en voila...

Emil__BG said on :

same as Pietro.
just close the own player of copyprotected cd..
then use Easy cd-da extractor 8.
checked with The change and FFF

Roxrider_USA said on :

Windows Media Player, dBpowerAMP, Nero and Easy CD-DA Extractor 9.0 all worked for me. I tried them all.

Ripped Lame MP3 @ 320 kbits/s CBR, Dual Channel, 48 kHz files for my Zen Micro mp3 player. Sounds almost perfect. Not perfect because it’s not Lossless.

AND

Ripped WMA 9.1 Lossless @ 1500-1860 kbits/s, Quality 100 VBR, 48 kHz, 2 Channel, 24 bit files for my laptop. Sounds really good. I guess it’s the closer to perfection it gets.

So, yeah, the album can be ripped. :-)

Take care!

ally77 said on :

Yeah I used WMP 9, no worries here with that!

LittleSpooky said on :

I use MagixMP3 Maker.

Cheapest runs like $20USD

Vixzter said on :

holding left shift down when you insert the cd stops the auto run which then stops whatever player wants to pop up with it.

PeterGm said on :

None work for me...it has to do with my hardware one way or another...OR my copy of SOAP has had extra security installed.... but now enjoying custom made mp3s ;)

thenicekai said on :

Look for isobuster. It’s good, it’s free (at least for the main functions, you don’t need more) and it sees everything that is on a CD/DVD.

Kecho said on :

it is off-topic, isn’t it? so it could be outside roxette forum

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Kecho: Technically, it’s not off topic due the fact that the bulk of the discussion is aimed at the topic of the copy protection contained within the SOAP album, which is of course totally related to Roxette for obvious reasons.

Per is part of Roxette; Per is SOAP. :-)

Take care!
SOAP on!

oholmoey said on :

I used Neoaudio and had no problem ripping the cd.

daniel_alv said on :

the secret is to press Avbryt (Cancel) on the pop up that comes up when you insert the CD
