    Copy Control....the Bane of rippers everywhere !

    I finally came across a CD with it. The complete Pussycat on EMI Netherlands. Has CDripper ( I do have the latest version ) ever incorporated code to overcome this thing? It is a quite old copy protection scheme. I have a variety of cd roms including the latest and greatest and so far errors are the king of the day. Has anyone overcome copy control with this software or any others ?

    Choose the ripping option 'defective by design' (revert back for normal discs).

        I was having a similar problem with a number of CDs where it would appear copy protection was being used. Warner seems to be a particular culprit. However I ran the same CDs on another desk top in the house which is equipped with a Pioneer DVR-220RS drive and this seems to be able to read these protected CDs. It seems to spend some time reading the first track at low speed (3.5-4x speed) and after it has worked out the protection it reads the rest of the CD at high speed (20xish). In the TSST corp. CDDVDW SH-S232L in my usual desk top those CDs produce completely errored track results (e.g. 15,000+ errored frames) and it is impossible to rip the CD. So it does appear that certain models of internal CD/DVD drives work without a problem and others cannot read the protected CDs. Of course that Pioneer drive is no longer current and I don't know whether the current Pioneer models will work in the same way.
