Mding Copy Protected Cds

Not sure this is the right place for my post but i'm guessing its an old MD problem...

I recently bought a cd with that 'Copy Controlled' technology on it and attempted to copy it to my sony mz-r91 though the regular route of the optical cable. Problem is when stopped, the TOC goes crazy and gives me a massively random nuber of tracks (like 247 or 164) all of which are representing parts of the 1st track.

Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a way to deal with it other than making an analog recording?

Thanks

Use the optical out of your PC's sound card. (assuming you have a Pc with cd-drive and optical out). You'll have to put in the track marks manually tho, but you will get a digital recording.

Another method would be to burn a copy of your CD without the copy-control protection. Some CD-Burners ignore the encrypted TOC when reading the disc, and you can usually rip these CDs to your hard disk without any problems. Otherwise, you can try using Exact Audio Copy (google it) to manually detect the TOC of the disc in order to bypass the copy-protect technology.

What I have been able to do with all of my CPCD's so far is to rip the CD to computer with Exact Audio Copy and burn it to a CD-R, and to put that CD-R in my CD deck and do an optical copy.
