I'll never get why they're using copy protection anyways. First of all, it's cracked sooner or later and second, if you can rip the CD, it means you actually bought it, which is just what they wanted you to do, but you might have problems with playing it properly on every CD player. So they're basically punishing you for buying a much too expensive CD.

Well I'm now downloading CDex 1.5 beta 7..... hopes that still be able to rip CCCD.

Sometimes when you can't find certain Music on the net, you will need to rip the CD tracks onto your PC. Avex are doing this simply because they want everyone to buy it. Too bad that it drags the sales lower.

This problem is about the CD-ROM's brand...
some broad read CCCD just like reading the other normal CD (often older model)
some brand sometime read is OK , but sometime it's not
some brand can't read CCCD all (often newer)

CCCD from avex is no work at all. In my country, the CD can be copied by CD writer. And the copy CD is clear at all. There's no use of CCCD.

ur ryt, ayuvextrax... I tried copying a song from A BALLADS to my computer and it worked.... but then when I played the CD(not the copy) the "player" didn't display the MIX names(eg. "northern breeze")... anyway, the copy sounds as good as the one in the CD.
Oh, and I just copied it through WMP...

I used audiograbber to burn it a cccd and some other files. In most cases it workeb but when I play a song it has no sound.
All the info is there and everything but no sound at alll

LOL! this thread getting old @_@ but hey! people still manage to burn them

but risk of damaging cd

Yeah, I got A BALLADS and burned every bit of them with Window Media, then I just encode them into MP3 with another program and its up for grabs, sorta... anyways,
CCCD will never take my ripping ability away from me!

I've got a question:

Is avex trax the only label that uses CCCDs?

I don't think any North American label uses them on their CDs; their method to stop mp3 distribution is to sue people. x_X;;

AfanforXX · #52 29th December 2003, 01:48 PM

no, Sony is also using CCCD. And, yes there is copy protection on American CDs now, example, Alicia Key's new album. The way you can tell is something is copy-protected is by looking for the Compact Disc stamp, if it's not there, it's protected.

Anyways, for ripping CCCD, I use Musicmatch, it rips FAST and rips CCCD CDs with no problems at all. It rips them in perfect audio goodness in less than a minute per track.

akatsuki · #53 1st January 2004, 07:43 PM

For me, i could copy &. But i cant copy track and paste them in my computer, that's the only things i cant do

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!!!

Hey, sorry to bring this back, AGAIN, but i have a question.

It's like ripping CCCD (i posted in the technical section about this too, and Unimatrix Prime sent me here). It's about copy to MD, too. Whenever i tried to copy any CDs with CC BEFORE &, they had imperfections in the sound. For example, "click" sounds, like of a pen. Also, there is some scratching sounds, and it's really just horrible. Anyways, any CDs AFTER & where fine, I could put them onto my MD no problem, no imperfections (like Memorial Address). I tried using EAC, and it took out the scratching sounds, but the click was still there. However, whenever i tried to play the audio in EAC, it would be 100% PERFECT. So, i'm confused.... >_<;;; Can someone please help me?

I think that they use different software on the various cds. for example, I could rip all of this dai single with cccd, but could not rip everlasting dream off of rainbow. I have no problem now ripping...
