I know this is not in any way related with this board so i'll delete this thread soon after i get some answers on this topic.
So, does anyone know of an audio cd ripping program that can remove copy control? The ones i have (audiograbber for instance) don't seem to do the trick. And i don't think it's "illegal" or immoral to ask for this cause i already own the cd and just want to rip it to mp3 form.I could just record it from the audio card's recorder but i'm too lazy for that.. Anyone?

I may be off the mark, but doesn't Music Match rip CD's pretty easy (even Windows Media will do it, but not into MP3's), with no protection? Granted, you have to put up with Music Match to do it, but...

It is possible, I believe, to easily rip from even a copy protected CD. Here's how:
1) When you put the CD into your PC (assuming you use a Window's based system), make sure you hold down the SHIFT key for about 20-30 seconds. Usually Windows will try to autorun the CD, and on copy-protected discs, will launch the copy protect software that prevents copying. If you hold SHIFT for a while immediately after putting the disc in, Windows will bypass the autoload feature and prevent the copy protect features from being activated. You'll be good to go. Technical data here, if you're interested.
2) After loading the CD, use CDex (http://www.cdex.n3.net/) to rip the CD into Mp3 format. It's probably the easiest program to use... and it has CDDB support. Recommended.
Hope this helps.

This thread helped me a whole Hell of a lot, so if you wouldn't mind, I think you should leave the thread where it is. The crap-to-content ratio isn't very high on this board, so I think we can stand to have one informational off-topic thread sitting around.

I'm surprised people leave autorun on -- it's a security hazard and a major irritation rolled into one. After switching back to the old-fashioned start menu (without personalized entries), turning off XP themes (on XP), and disabling the hiding of filename extensions, it's the next thing I do on MS Windows installations.
Oh, and I second CDex. I've been using it for years because there's nothing simpler (under MS Windows).

The type of copy protection involved can be important here.
I don't know if any of you remember this, but there was one scheme on some CDs that could be circumvented with the aid of a magic marker (just blacken the outermost part of the disc surface).
You can use a tool that is not explicitly designed for audio capture to grab content. For instance, use something like Alcohol 120% to create an iso/bin/whatever image of the disc, and then use another tool like Isobuster to read the binary image and do a raw dump of each track converted into wav... i think that'll work, but it's a bit clumsy as making the binary image tends to be an awful lot slower than doing the usual cd audio rip.

I'm just disabling the hiding of filename extensions :)I'm too lazy not to have autorun
