Hi all,

Is there a way to listen to "protected" audio CDs
in Linux/Fedora?
It seems that most of the time, the CD can't be
read at all. Sometimes,
the system is able to read it after trying for 20
minutes or so - but
it's not consistent (next time it says can't read
the CD)

Why is it possible on windows but not on Linux?

Note I'm not talking about ripping CD - just
listening to them.

If you've got a corrupted piece of shiny plastic
(note the ones with
deliberate corruptions are not a 'compact disc' as
that is a trademark
reserved for describing real ones) then what happens
depends a lot on the
disc itself

Some sneakily install windows drivers and play mp3
type copies on a PC,
others have corruptions so you can play them via an
audio cable but not
digitally - if so cdplay will play them but not
tools that digitally
rip/play for better quality. Others contain corrupt
headers which will
just break on PC hardware.

Has the OP tried playing using cdda2wav an example

$ cdda2wav -eN dev=/dev/sr0 -t1
plays track 1 from cdrom0,

It can play from command line and get information from
cd,

defaults stereo, 16 bit, 44100.00 Hz, track 1,
no offset, one track,
type wav 'audio', don't wait for signal, not
quiet,
use generic_scsi, device /dev/cdrom, aux
/dev/cdrom
[olivares@localhost ~]$

If this does not work, please let me know. It has
worked for me in the past. It lets you also rip the
cd to wav files which can later be burned to make a
non protected cd for your personal use.

Antonio
