Hello, Today I just purchase 6 music cds from shop and I have my own habit that will not use the cd for listen. I will rip it as mp3 high quanlity for listen. For the original cd, I will keep it in my cubboard instead. (worship?) Well, but now I notice that the new cd (Japanese Pop music) have protection!! The cactus shield 200. I do read the guide in this website and I follow everything with step by step. However, I have 1 question that I need help. The speed of ripping cd is very slow. I should say it's never slow than this anymore. I use the Lite-On CD Writer 52x24x52 as ripping drive. I'm turn off the autorun to ensure that Cactus will not harm my systems. The ripping speed is goes far about 0.1x - 0.2x only. I'm not sure that the safe mode will cause this minimum speed or not. So, I need your help. I had use Easy CD-DA 6.5 before and I think that's fine. I never try the protection cd with easy cd-da yet. Have anybody try Easy CD-DA 7.0? Does it pass the copy protection or not? Excuse me, next question. If I would like to rip the cd as cd audio image exclude the protection. Is it possible and how I do that?
The subject was dealt with here http://forums.afterdawn.com/search/forum_search_results.cfm AnyDVD and Clone CD can be tried for 21 days and/or purchased from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonecd.html I have no knowledge of Easy CD-DA 7.0 gringle.
I do search before I post Gringle and there is no hit result could help me. Most result is about bittorrent slow download speed. I think Easy CD-DA work fine for me. It can bypass Cactus Shield Protection 200 anyway. Easy CD-DA Extractor ripping at 5X speed (50 times faster than EAC.) However, I still want to know why EAC is very slow.
Well here's another link you appear to have missed. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/cactusdatashield.cfm Now because the bulk of your question was about cactusdatashield, and certainly by your first posting I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that your use of basic, English, was some-what limited. I reiterate. I have no knowledge of Easy CD-DA 7.0 regards gringle.
However a five minute search with google produced this link http://www.tucows.com/preview/218449.html (edit) I think you may have a clash of programs, most of us have learned; the hard way, not to use a program, no matter how well presented, untill better folk in numbers endorse it. (edit end) gringle.
Thanks very much Gringle. But I do have Easy CD-DA Extractor (old version) that's work fine. It can rip music from protection cd perfect quality at very fast speed and have no glitch sound. The question I doubt that is why EAC can rip at very slow speed. (0.1-0.2x) but Easy CD-DA Extractor can rip at 5.0-6.2x speed. (50 times faster) my assumption is.. I have wrong setting which I do not know. However, I have a new method to share. ** Blindy Burn ** 1. Use Clone CD v5.0 or later to create back up image. 2. Burn the Image with Clone CD with slow speed (my test is 4x.) I test with CD-RW The result is.. only audio track were burned. No Protection anymore. (FANTASTIC) Thanks you Gringle for your reply ^^. Hope I share what I got with others.
