I have a 40x lite on cd writer, i m using CDEX, and have been able to rip all copy protected cd's without so much as a glitch or error message. I have ripped the following cd's with no pops, clicks, etc. Blue Cantrell's latest Album, Kelis - Tasty NERD, Return of the clones or whatever its called. and a few others i can't remember what they are at the moment. Will post if anyone is interested
its funny you posted that I have had the same thing albums friends wanted put on mp3's for them with security which i had no problem with
