Yes, it *IS* possible to make uncopiable audio CD's, at least on the computer. Error correction in 'living room' CD players is better than in computer CD ROM players. And that is exactly the trick. Your CD ROM player isn't able to correct the errors that are made on these CD's! Philips has strongly advised the music publishers (and Sony) to stop with these CD's, because officially they aren't CD's! Regards Harry

I haven't yet found an audio disk that I can't copy with XCDRoast. That includes ones that won't even play on Windows. And XCDRoast corrects (or replaces) the errors so that the copied disk is better than the original. AFAIK, it isn't possible to make uncopiable audio disks. Sadly, its easy to make it hard to copy data disks.
