See www.stereophile.com for article entitled "Insert at Your Own Risk". No, it's not about putting strange things where the sun doesn't shine, altho after reading it, you may want to tell some of the music industry folks to shove their discs where the sun doesn't shine. Copy-protected CDs often don't meet Red Book standards & therefore can't be considered CDs. Thus, they are incompatible w/many contemporary players (esp computers), even if all you want to do is play, not copy.
But hey, there's always someone who figures out how to beat the latest protection, and if that's not an option for you, get yourself a CD player w/peak search & reintroduce yourself to Mr. Analog Record Mode.
Also, there's a nice article on the late Otis Blackwell. You may say "Who"? when you hear his name, but when you find out what songs he's written, you'll know that he's one of the greats. Local public radio station had a show 2 nites ago that played different versions of his songs--superb!
