Can anyone confirm this?

 

and if its true fuck you EMI.

If it's true I won't be buying it. I use my iPod in my car, home stereo, everything. Kinda makes it pointless to buy the CD if I can't put it on there. Fuckin greedy record companies.

Its worked fine for me.

I don't transfer any cd's to itunes because it screws stuff up, I just use another ripper that works very well after that I transfer to itunes.

 

I have heard that it won't play in some car stereos. Yes, it is a copy protected cd.

I really hope this isn't true but I've bought a few cds that were declared "not compatible with ipod/itunes" but they still worked fine.

From what I've heard it rips fine to itunes.

Then I ask; What's the point of copy controlling it?

i just finished ripping it to itunes...it works

Then I ask; What's the point of copy controlling it?

There's always ways to get around it. To someone unexperienced, it probably would do it's job just fine.

*True - they should be grateful people are buying it in the first place! :smug:

I think it's funny how they always seem to put copy protection on the albums that they know are going to sell millions of copies anyway. :rolleyes:

Kasabian's CD was "copy protected" too and I ripped it easily. I didn't try it with iTunes though.

You can rip it, but have you tried literally copying it? It's called Copy-Control for a reason. CD's with copy-control tend to be unable to be copied. Doesn't work. Lucky for us they didn't invent Rip-Control yet huh? :)

Just did it now. Now i can rock out all day :lol: :P

damn these record companies.

yeah i just did it with mine, no problems whatsoever

LOL at Kasabian's CD being protected. So the 10 people that initially wanted to hear it just dropped to 5.

 

...an X&Y works fine on iTunes.

yeah...mine says nothing about being copy-protected. it has an FBI warning on it but thats it. no biggie

I think the some of the advanced copies and perhaps the Japan release had copy protection, which was denoted with a special logo. The US and UK releases don't have this copy protection layer.

What really annoys me is when record companies put that massive label on the front of the CD: "Will NOT play on PC/MAC." It's like wtf? I think record companies have learnt from that mistake though. The last song on my copy of X&Y wouldn't rip to iTunes either, which pissed me off. I just kicked my computer tower a few times and it worked - piece o' crap.
