Fat Chuck’s is attempting to compile a list of CDs that are apparently copy protected, in that you can’t play them on a computer or rip MP3s from them. I’ve recently run into one of these myself. Since I mainly listen to MP3s these days, my solution was simple: hook the “line out” of my Walkman to the “line in” on my sound card, record the audio to .wav files, then rip the .wav files to MP3s. No problem!

Update: Looks like Fat Chuck isn’t very friendly. I attempted to tell him about the aforementioned CD, but his CGI script refuses to accept my submission because I block my referrer header to protect my privacy. Sorry Chuckie, but where I came from isn’t any of your business.
