SS Tip with imported tracks

Hi all,

Many may already know this... but, when importing tracks into SS from DLs, ripped files, saved files from Sound Forge etc. ... Sometimes the track is protected from further transfers of other manipulation...

I'm absolutely not advocating breaking copyright here... but if this is something that is of interest to you... try this (it works for me every time):

1. Before importing the track into SS, make sure that you have a local copy of the track/file that SS can read.

2. Disconnect or otherwise disable Internet access (if you use something like ZoneAlarm ® or other firewall software, this is easily done on a temporary basis)

3. Import the track/file in SS

4. Re-enable Internet access, but don't fetch file/track info for that track in the future from the Internet (GraceNote et al)

As long as you don't go to the 'Net to get track info, you may do as you wish with this track in SS. Of course, you'll then have to do your own Library management in SS as far as where it is located etc.

Again, this is just informational... not intended to have anything to do with breaking any laws.
