As has been briefly mentioned on this site, NO SOFTWARE will HELP you rip the CCCD's. It's a hardware issue. Meaning it's your CD drive. Some models, most notably plextors, have been claimed to rip them fine. There's a discontinued model in Germany I heard that was able to rip EVERY version of CCCD put out by EVERY label. I have an HP CD-RW (CD-Writer PLUS 8000) and a Sony CD-RW drive and NEITHER OF THEM will rip the CD's. CCCD's are designed to exploit the read-ahead function of CD drives. That's the function that scans the whole CD b'fore you're able to access it. It's a way for your computer to basically tell you what the CD contains, the file sizes, name, and properties. This information must be read from the CD b'fore it's displayed to you. CCCD catches it in the midst and stalls the process, preventing it from goin' any further, that's how it works. I've used every conceivable prog out there with no joy. So, to lay myths to rest, it's a HARDWARE ISSUE! People, plz, instead of posting "such 'n' such program was able to rip so 'n' so CD", PLZ, I URGE YOU, give us your stats on your HARDWARE! Tell us the model and maker of your CD drive!!!
