Location: Midland, MI | A suit has been brought in Texas, and I believe a class action in California. Sony/BMG has recalled the ~2mil CDs that had the rootkit embedded, but as of Monday, they were still available, as reported.
FWIW, the pres. of the RIAA came out and said what Sony/BMG did was perfectly normal and acceptable. |

Location: closely held secret | Brad, if you burned them as audio tracks, now you need to use DbPowerAmp to rip them as files to your hard drive. |

Location: south east Michigan | Okay...I'm good to go. Lessons learned.
I over road the i-tunes dictatorship and ripped the tracks with friendly Windows Media.
I think that the i-tunes program does have some sort of imbeddeed encoding that makes some things more difficult.
Thanks again for all the advise. |

Location: closely held secret | Windows Media is not going to make your life any easier, Brad. It can put protections on stuff you rip as well, making them unplayable on any computer but your own. If you plan on doing anything with what you ripped better test that it will play on a different computer.
Really, your best bet is to use a third-party ripping software like DbPa or Nero. |
