stupid copyrights.

Ok i have silvertide cd. It has a song on there called SFC i wanted to use it as background music for a rc vid awhile back. but everytime i play it on windows media player. Its like theres two of the same songs playing at once or. like its skipping on a brand new cd.
SO i tryed to copy it. It trys to copy for awhile. it went up in speed down in speed. off and on for about 4 mins. Then it had an error and cant copy it.

Then theres a little extra data thing that pops up when you put in the cd. You can copy off the songs through that. But you cant transfer it into any program what so ever.

so fast forward to now. It got scratched and now it doesnt play.
On top of that im making back ups for all my cds. Likie the eagles boxset we bought. So i cant copy that cd without the error.

does anybody know there way around this error. Im using memorex cd-r, sonic recordnow! software.

help,
Goose

There's a product out called Alcohol 120%. Its a computer program for making copies of cd's and dvd's. I use it and have never had a failure. Even copyrighted discs were no prob. You can download the free trial and test it.

thanks buddy. My silver tide Cd is screwed.

Although i bi-passed the eagles cd.
while playing on e drive i right clicked then open, highlighted and copyed the music.

Then i went to f drive (cdrw) and right clicked, propertys. recording. enable recoding in this drive.
basically it allows me to drag and drop, saves it to my HD temporaly then when im read, i burn it. then it deletes whats on my HD for that file.

Works for the eagles cd

What is scratched on your CD? Is it the silver backing or is it just the plastic? If it is just the plastic, you can possibly polish it out enough with brasso and your finger to cut the edge off the scratch so your CD player can read it.

like preppypyro said, you could download the song via a music download program, it wouldn't be copyright infringement i don't think since you already have the CD...

CD's are easy compared to DVD's. I was under impression that if you own a tape,cd, vhs, dvd you should be able to copy it for yourself, basically don't copy and get it to someone or sell it. They make it where it's impossible. I'm busy during my winter break digitizing everything. Any paperwork I have laying around (thanks to my $1 hp scanner), cassette tapes, cd's, vhs and possibly backing up dvd's. Unfornately I doing this a little late a few cd's have bad spots on them making a few songs unplayable. Now I just need to buy a couple 300GB harddrives to store it all.

Winamp is a program, not a format
