This is an anti-piracy feature included on some discs. Nowadays there
are more and more protected discs around. Some of them even crash
computers when loading. How silly is that? Programs like CloneCD can
handle such things on Windows boxes. That is what I use after having
long frustrated sessions with open-source tools.
I am pretty sure this isn't an anti-piracy feature. It happens to me
with _any_ "enhanced CD" (audio+data mixed CD), and _only_ on enhanced
CDs. Never has it happened to me on any non-enhanced audio CD. My
problem is not with the inability to get the data off, that doesn't seem
to be a real issue. The problem is with the crashing of the computer.
Why should _any_ data read from a removable disk of any kind be causing
FreeBSD to crash by the mere act of attempting to read it from the disk?
The device is reporting a failure, but why isn't the OS handling that
failure gracefully?
If I'm asking the wrong list, and should be asking [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or some list related to multimedia, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mac

Does the packaging explicitly say "this CD will only work in Windows"
or have similar notes on it? Macs aren't supported in the anti-piracy
CDs produced by sony (and other Japanese groups) at least, so that's an
easy sign that you have a copy-protected CD.
Also, if you can't open up the CD using Winamp version <5.0 in Windows
or copy the tracks using CD burning software like Nero or Roxio, the
CD's definitely copy-protected.

The excellent Grip cd-ripper for Linux/BSD (http://nostatic.org/grip/) has
never failed me yet, despite all sorts of awful DRM software the CD might
be packed with.
It's a brilliant piece of software, I rank it as the best out there without
question! :)
