Steve: What kind of computer setup (software and CD-R hardware) are you
using? Im just curious because it was so easy for me. I just got an e-mail
from Art Carey
who also owns a Lite-On drive and he was able to rip tracks from the new
Stones SACD combo discs.
Check newegg.com for information on these drives. Lite-on drives are
highly praised by computer geeks and gamers for thier fast speed and ablity
to copy many protected games. They are a little noisy though, but since im
always listening to music while working/surfing it doesnt bug me.

I agree - I dont think its right for companies to assume that everyone who
buys thier "product" is going to make copies of it or post it on Kazza.
BTW I have heard that many Capitol/EMI/Virgin CD's are now copy protected.
Has anyone had any problems? The last CD I can remember buying from Capitol
was Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" CD and It ripped/copied fine.

A nice surprise - a tighter/sweeter/smoother sounding Weezer (no outta tune
guitars), with a little of FOW's influence. "If It Were Up To Me" is gonna
wind up one my favorite songs of the year.
