Copy protection? What copy protection? :)

Well, I got my copies of TBH and TPH, and was horrified to see that hideous black sticker on TPH’s case and those disgusting little logos on both the album disc and the EP...
As it turned out, it was not much of a problem. Both played without any trouble (except for trying to run their own player software) on both CD player and PC. The EP was ripped perfectly by CDex. The main album needed to be ripped by Nero, because using CDex for Opportunity Nox and Little Miss Sorrow meant that there were nasty buzzing clicks every 6 seconds...
TBH had no copy protection whatsoever, and TPH’s failed abjectly. So I now have in my hot little hands a very nice compilation disc -
Almost Unreal
June Afternoon
You Don’t Understand Me
She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
I Don’t Want To Get Hurt

Better Off on Her Own

With just over 10 minutes to spare on the disc...

That’s the compilation I’m making.
The first ’Breathe’ is the T&A Demo. I think it opens the album nicely, while Marie’s version finishes the album perfectly. There’s a bit of an acoustic idea in the middle of the album, I suppose rather like on C!B!B!.

My pc doesn’t like TBH! I put it in, and the CD drive makes a clicking noise!!
I don’t want to copy them... i’ve no reason to. I even tried via CDex... that was even worse! Did not like that AT all!
No fair!
I’m not installing the player that it uses on my pc... I did the first time, and it conflicted with some other stuff on here and kept illegal operationing! :(
POO! LOL!

You could also use music match to make an mp3 of it within a few seconds.
With the pop hits they like to fool ya with instaling a software but simple click on no.
And the cd will make your mp3 on the computer.
It is a very waste of money. For a protection that did not work.
Also I heared that Per Gessle did‘t like the cd protection because he also put al the cd‘s he made on the computer.
