Thread: Cant Copy Dido Cd

  1. #1
    I have a copy of Dido - Life for Rent. It plays fine on all CD players in the house but my PC CD player from which I want to copy to HD for WMP and mp3 player.
    The problem is it skips bits, and after changing CD and the same happening I conclude it must be some kind of encrytption.
    The case says OK for playing on CD. I have tried making a straight copy to CDRW but the problem is copied as well. The CD has a video elementwhich tries to install a player, but on advice if I hold down shift key whilst inserting CD this bypasses that. I cannot ever see the individual tracks when using explorer and now know of any way to copy it.
    Any ideas please

    The tracks are not visible as files like normal CD's- I think it's because there is a video component to this CD. I have used Nero and burned a copy, but the encryption problem was written as well.

    Thanks for the link to BMG. I see the point in protecting CD's with encryption to prevent copying. My issue is that I cannot play the CD on my PC CD player although it says OK for PC playing on the cover. I can play it but it has pauses on it. Yes BMG is marked on the cover. This shouldn't prevent me playing it.
