New How does that prevent all copying
When you have all those Phillips CD recorders and other hardware only copiers/recorders (not to mention Linux driven computers)?

The only way would be to make the CDs playable only on Windblows machines, and I don't think the music industry is ready to give up that many sales just to make sure the CDs can't be pirated.

New It won't.
That's not the idea - the idea is to get M$ more money by overselling some idea to the (computer illiterate) RIAA.

         Couldn't you still just rip the songs with a MP3 Ripper? - (orion) - (8) - Feb. 5, 2003, 10:51:38 PM EST
             You wouldn't need the MP3 step to do that. - (static) - (7) - Feb. 6, 2003, 06:31:50 AM EST

                     WAV=Original audio; MP3=LOSSY-compressed. So why use MP3 ?!? -NT - (CRConrad) - (4) - Feb. 6, 2003, 04:23:47 PM EST
                         Because MP3 saves on hard drive space - (orion) - (3) - Feb. 6, 2003, 10:45:14 PM EST
                             We were talking about burning CDs, see thread start subject. -NT - (CRConrad) - (2) - Feb. 7, 2003, 02:28:54 AM EST
                                 Yes but if you cannot burn a CD because it is protected - (orion) - (1) - Feb. 8, 2003, 03:28:21 PM EST
