convert new CDs

[Unregistered]

Hi
I just tried to convert a few CDs which I bought recently
2 of them have players which automatically install in order to play them on a computer
When I try to convert them I get weird numbers and tracklists
I think that all the music data is in a .cds file
Does anybody know how I can convert these CDs to mp3

Thanks

do you have dmc mudic converter installed?
have you ripped cd music with dmc ok before?

what are the names of the players that installed off the cd's?

are these cd's copy protected?

yes i have dmc music converter installed
but no files from these cds are supported

yes i ripped cds before

i think the player is called cdsplayer

on the player info it is written that the audio files are write protected
is there any way to convert this cd???

Thanks

i don't know all the different types od cd protections but i read that with some protected cd's you can simply hold down your shift key whilst inserting the audio cd. basically you don't want auto cd start up to occur when you pop the cd in. also don't allow the cd software to install.

here is a bit more info with links to cdfreaks that might help too.

no worries, i'm glad it worked. i think cdfreaks forum might have a thread on what to look out for when purchasing new cd's and identifying which encyption/protection it is using. this way we can all avoid buying protected cd's we can't get around :D
