I bought a few Jpop CDs to pop in on my second machine and listen to during my mining sessions in FFXI. My secondary machine, Chii, is connected to my speaker which accepts 2 inputs and plays them simultaneously.
And so out of the audio CDs I bought, 2 of them have cd copy protection. And to my great dismay and understanding, it involves tricking your computer into thinking it’s a data CD. It automatically launches an ugly looking player program from the CD and plays the tracks. What further annoys me is that program takes up 90+% of my CPU power. Very unacceptable. I guess I should have read the cd copy protection warning label closely.
Anyway, good job recording companies! Thanks to you, I now have to resort to digital alternatives downloadable via the internet.
well, you can always do a low level ripping of the songs by skippings errors
