[gentoo-user] Which cd player plays copy-controlled cd's?

[Hans de Hartog]

Does someone know which of the dozens of cd-players for gentoo
is able to play copy-controlled cd's (the cd's that install a
player first under Windows).
My discman can play them, my home audioset can play them so
i guess there must be a cdplayer for gentoo that can do it.
Xmms and xine won't.

cdparanoia and cdrdao can rip most of these non-CDs, so you can burn
working copy..

As these so called 'copy protected CDs' can be ripped so easily, what
advantage have the labels gained over releasing a 'standard' audio CD?

Yep, just turn down, or off, the error checking (or paranoia level).
Copy protected CDs are just CDs with errors intentionally put in. Ignore the 
errors, get the music.

That is rarely necessary, I find that most "copy-protected" CDs can be
ripped with full error checking. Not that I have tried with that many, I
won't buy them.
