Like Mikhail was mentioning, the DMCA appears to be in your way; many companies thought it was necessary to copyright protect CDs and they have accomplished that feat by added various protection features to CDs, some of which are intentional CD track errors. The best way I've found with dealing with these types of issues is to use a program like iTunes to rip the content, since it will happily unlock the CD and encode in mp3 or mp4 format-which is fairly lossless-and I can go from there. Best of luck with that, - -Garrett -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEkRd56CkrZkzMC68RAq5hAJ0ZbRUK4ijSymor2NcXamGzsCbWQwCffOV9 E2duEPHg8NiTg6D4fpdRCQQ= =a5fG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
