I have a friend that just got some new CDs and can't rip all of them for his portable due to copy protection. He is shy and dosen't do forums, so I will ask. No, I don't know what the CDs are and don't much care. Thanks!
exact audio copy (eac) to make mp3s. or use clonecd to copy the audio cd (raw dao or sao) then the copy can be ripped by anything. if you dont want to whaste a disc, use clone, rip to image file, mount the image with daemon tools, then rip mp3s from the virtual drive.
