The coldplay cd x&y comes equipped with that nasty copy control technology - how can I get around this to actually play the CD I purchased - It won't even recognise the CD never mind letting me rip it so I can make a copy or transfer to a portable device.

| @ zebra, Welcome to the Forum. Suggest visiting SlySoft (http://www.slysoft.com) and download a copy of the latest version of AnyDVD. The AnyDVD software porogram will remove the copy protection schemes found on the latest copy protection Audio CDs. Best Regards, bjkg |
| Thanks Unfortnately I have already used AnyDvd previously and my trial version is up - when I try to use it now it asks me to buy it - I don't think I should pay $30 to play a cd i have already bought. |
| hi zebar, I agree with you, that CD is really a nasty one.  I don't think that AnyDVD would be of help in this case... the CD has a lot of really severe mastering errors, making it unreadable in a decent way in most devices.  More infos in this thread. Regards, ET

| Thanks - that guy seemed to have the same problem as me - but the solutions seem a bit out of my technical know-how. |
| I am not worried about ripping it - I'd just like to be able to play it. |

| Think I've cracked it! Seems like the cd has its own cd player software on it that has to be downloaded first - pc is then restarted and then it will play - my latop must have Autorun switched off ad thats why it doesn't recognise it. |
| Be warned Sony tried this and there was a rootkit that hid itself and left your PC vulnerable. Antispyware and antivirus software has or is updating to be able to find and remove Sonys' root kit so check your computer just incase. |

on your PC. Maybe you've heard something about Mark Russinovich's blog about Sony Rootkits...  EDIT: aww, JayC30, you were faster!  However, Coldplay's CD shouldn't be on the list of audio CDs infested by latest rootkit.  EDIT2: Quote:
