Ok guys, I need A LOT of help. I'm not too good with computers but whatever... I have to CD's, they're spanish, and they happen to have copy protection. The CD's are 1. Los Matadores Del Genero and 2. Sopranos "First Season". The first says on the CD, the back of the CD case, and inside in the booklet "This CD will not Play in PC/MAC" and on the back side of the CD (the side that is played) it says "Mastered by Sony Music Mexico". The second CD also says "Mastered by Sony Music Mexico" and "This CD will not play on PC/MAC" on one part of the booklet. I tried using ClonyXXL but it didn't read the protection on them, it said something about a CD burned wrong or something. I used CloneCD in Audio format and copied them but that didn't work either. With the information I've given is it possible the CD's have a "Key2Audio" protection and how can I succesfully burn copies? I really need copies because I like listening to music on my computer and my originals are getting a bit scratched too! Please help. In case you need this info to help, I have 2 disc drives: Matshita DVD-ROM SR-8586 and a LG CD-RW CED-8120B. Hope you guys can help...Thanks!
