Has anyone actually experienced this? If so were you on Windows or Mac? [ and Rene wrote ] The copy protected audio cd's only want you to install a player on your PC or Mac. And through that player the audio tracks become audible.

Thanks Jonathan and Rene for more informal replies. I have Linux. If I go to my friend and install the software on the CD to his MS Windows XP, then am I able to I extract the songs to WAV files? Move the WAV files to my Linux and listen to the songs from those WAV files? Does The Eye want install a player? We could check that out first. Do The Eye have a Linux version of the software? My CD player is very cheap and cannot anymore play well regular CDs. People have reported (so I have heard) problems with the cheap players. Those guys who started blaming, please don't forget that I would have to pay before I can test if The Eye works in my CD player. If The Eye does not work, then I have already lost money! I'm not a gambler! Would you borrow your The Eye for me so that I can test if it works in my gears or not? Right, that is what I thought too. It makes more sense to ask mp3 copies --- perhaps only after I have buyed The Eye and have found out that I'm not able to listen to it. But would anyone make me mp3 files then? Assuming that is another risk and I may end up having unplayable The Eye. The point is that the copy control stuff causes a risk. A risk too untolerable to me. Please let us know if anyone of you actually have problems (or not) with your The Eye. BTW, I could buy The Eye and send it to you. Then you could make me a mp3 copy of my The Eye and send all back to me. Regards, Juhana
