I forgot, you can hold shift while inserting the cd to stop autorun from occuring, and probably use whatever you're used to ripping with. EAC is convenient because it can rip and compress to FLAC in one step (as can dbPower amp). On the flip side, Burrrn can make a CD-r out of your FLAC in one step. Anyway, here's some more info on the rootkit from: http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq02.html#S2-4-10 -------------- "The software in question is "XCP Content Management" from First 4 Internet Ltd (http://www.first4internet.com/). It uses a combined audio CD and CD-ROM format. When placed in a CD-ROM drive on a Windows system, it uses the autorun feature to install itself. XCP includes anti-piracy technology that acts to prevent you from copying it, and cloaking technology to prevent you from seeing it. If you manage to find it, and try to remove it, it disables your CD-ROM drive. (As with other technologies of this type, disabling autorun or holding down the shift key while loading a CD will prevent the copy protection from loading. Because this protection is difficult to remove you must be very careful when handling Sony music CDs on your computer.)
