Computer question....

peteep · Jun 4, 2004

Sorry for the non-sports related question, but I am hoping for some help. Is there any way of burning a cd that is copyrighted? When I try to burn it using nero it doesn't seem to let me.

~Thanks~

peteep - Personally have no idea, however we have a new Computer/tech question forum that I will copy this to. You will get some answers there for sure. It is called Technical Talk and Computer News and you will find it at the bottom of the Forum front page.

Peteep,

I had the same problem with a few new cd's because they just started doing this. What I did was download them on my hard drive using Windows Media Player. Once they are on your hard drive download from the Internet a program that will convert music files into MP3 format. Once they are in that format you will be able to burn them using Nero. Its a lot of steps but it does work and gets around the copyrights.

Thanks ghost....a good idea. I'm trying to burn software right now though. Will keep your post in mind for later though.

Hmm I assume you want to make copies of a cd for someone else?

I suggest you extract the files to your hard drive & then burn it.

I use a program called EAC or Exact Audio Copy. It will extract the files from your cd to your hard drive in wav format & then you can burn them to cd with any program you use. You now have a ripped copy of your cd at the same quality as the original.
