Hey guys. I have a few cds around that are content protected so they cant be imported to iTunes and some that can be imported but are scrambled. I was hoping somebody out there knew a way around the block. Thanks

    try ripping them with media player
    Or try some specific software (you'll find some, just google a bit)

    Can't really say I support the idea of downloading it in any illegal manner, as this is a public board ;)
    And I suppose you don't want to pay for it again, as you seem to have bought the original albums

    when you insert the disc into your computer hold down the shift key to bypass the copyright protection

    One of the protection schemes, "suncomm" or something like that, installs a driver that can be disabled, if you google around you will find it. It has been awhile since I have dealt with one of those. These days if I buy a protected CD for some reason I just torrent the mp3s rather than trying to rip.

    I only got two cd's on my collection that are like that, In Your Honor and Contraband, I just downloaded them uTorrent, also this probably won't help you, but when you first enter the disc in your computer you can put them on iTunes. On both cd's I was able to put the music on my computer. The second time is when I face the problems.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    Thanks. I guess I'll do some searching
