I'm in the UK so hopefully that draconian rule will not apply to me. But it probably answers why the discs are so well protected. Time life is a US company so are imposing US rules on non-US citizen.

Hi,

Just a note, the DMCA, if you live in the states, does not let you
decrypt discs, even for your own personal use.  This is one of the
reasons why the DMCA needs to be rewritten!

Running Win7 64bit Home Premium

I while ago I decided to dump my CD collection and copy them onto an external hard drive. All went well until I came to a set of 12 Classic Jazz discs I had purchased from Time Life Music. It appears they are DRM protected and nothing would shift them. I trawled through the internet and found a site that said that SoundTaxi would do the job. I have the pro version of this program installed so have spent the last couple of hours trying to work out how to do it with no success. SoundTaxi puts up a disclaimer stating it will not tolerate any illegal use. I am well within the law as I purchased the discs legally and am copying them to my own PC system for my own use only. (literally as the wife hates jazz with a passion. There’s some funny people about!! LOL)

Obviously I’m not doing something right. Can anyone help me please.

Roger
