i just tried to import the peaches cd (that i paid for, by the way) onto my ipod and every song has pauses at 5 second intervals. has anyone else experienced this? is this how copy protectors work? how fucking ridiculous.

I don't know how that works but I wondered when they were going to get around to making CDs harder to copy.

I don't have a CD burner in my computer. My CD burner is a stereo component. If you plug a separate CD player into your stereo, you can listen to the CD while you are recording it (just like recording an LP) and insert the track numbers manually. They can't fuck you up that way. You also get a better copy because you can control the recording level.

If you want to put it in your computer, then you put the copy in and download it. It takes time but it can be done.

ok, well, i switched it to the mac and it ripped with no problems. now i just need to reformat the ipod to mac in order to get the songs on there.

I once downloaded the song "Set it Off" by Peaches and it had a virus in it. All my MP3 Files and everything else on my computer was infected and destroyed because I didn´t have an antivirus Program.

Thank you Peaches.

i did get the cd ripped eventually. i still don't know if it was my computer or the disc...the mac had no problem with it whereas my pc gave me a problem. damn these pc's...

i've copied songs from that album when i've made comp mixes for people and i've never had a problem...does it only act wonky when you try to burn the whole CD? cuz my new diamanda double CD is copy protected and i can't copy a damn thing from it - the witch won't burn!!!

If you get a DVD-R or DVD-RW drive, it will solve all your problems. Certain models will rip anything, no matter the copy protection on it.

I don't think those discs are copy protected at all. I've ripped mp3's from those discs without problem. I did, however, have a problem playing them in winamp. Some discs are funky and picky like that.
