I own (perfectly legitimately) two copies of Bruce Hornsby's CD "Big Swing Face." It was released under RCA/BMG in 2002. When I insert it in a conventional CD player, it plays just fine. But if I insert it into a computer, it acts like there's nothing there. I've done a search for BMG protection from that time and found some of the lovely protection that was implemented, but that doesn't help me because no tools even acknowledge the disc's existence in my drive. Under Windows it is suggested that the disc is corrupted or in an unreadable filesystem. MacOS simply fails to see anything in the drive, but Toast sees a <NO VOLUME> CD-XA disc that crashes the program whenever I try to read from it. This is not an aberrant damaged disc problem, as both copies of the CD do this. I'm at the end of my rope here. I've tried three drives, two operating systems, emulators, rippers, scanners... nothing works. Is it too much that a man should want to play some music on his iPod?
When the CD is in your CD Drive, can you go to "My Computer" & right-click on that drive & see "Explore"? If you can, then you should be able to highlight all the files & copy to a folder on your computer. Just a suggestion, worth a try. If you can't then I'm sorry but it's beyond my expertise.
Unfortunately, that is when I get the error that says the disc is damaged or in a different file system. Since the disc is brand new and completely clean, something else must be going on.
