Oh yeah, and more thanks for showing EMI-Capitol that you “crashed” the copy-protected! :) I could just be happy right now with this 160 kbps bitrate file and forget buying the compilation just to show EMI-Capitol that they are only hurting themselves. But I’m going to buy it anyways - and see if I can rip MP3s as well.

@Otus: What a great job u have done there! Dude I love u!!!!!!
EMI is no doubt hurting itself. They don’t promote a band like ROxette and when they do release something.. they screw up with the CD!!
Great work again Otus and hey what did u exactly do?? Please share here or email me on [email protected]

Hi all. The song was ripped for me by Otus, and what I remember he told me: “There are NO problems to copy the songs from a CD. It’s just like on the CD all songs take 820 MB, and a copy of any song will be in a worse quality. CD-R is 650 MB ? 700 MB ? 750 MB ? right ? So you just don’t make an identical copy of the CD, because you won’t burn 820 MB on a CD. It’s something like that, what he told me while we were having a conversation. By the way, in Poland the CD was available on friday, november 1st. I have no idea why but it happened. Maybe Otus will say something more about how a copy protected CD is “protected” :-)

hi... kibkalo
i don’t know but a cd on a polish market can be ripped as well. i think that any other CD bought in other countries may be also ripped, and there will be no problems. the problems you might have are:
your CD drive in a computer will not see a CD
or just you will have to restart it over and over:-).
there’s written on the album something like that “limited possibility of copying the CD. Caution ! copying this CD worsen a digital copy, and may cause technical problems with a computer, or even damage it” so it’s not said you CAN’T copy it.

Hi and Hello!
Yesterday I was buy new roxette cd, and i can’t wait to be sure, that new rox album is really “protected”. I just plug CD into my cdrom, run CDex and wait what will happen.... This program reading and reading and for a few minutes starting copy ... that’s all. Some programs like an Audio Catalys doesn’t copy. Windows Media Player also can copy music from this CD. I was copy Breathe - this only one track can’t find on Kazaa or winmx - to show that isn’t really “protected”... and of course for KIXPL, who was really need this track - he want to die for it [smile].
One more thing, correctly date of realesed THB in Polish was 31th of October, but only in EMPIK MegaStore. Today is official premniere.
Best wishes from PLD - PolishListDiscussion
