Hello all, I have a problem with CloneAudioProtector v 1.1. When I use it to protect my cd's I cant play them on my car stereo.(I have tried many cars and only first few songs work). When I only choose Sys Protection as my protection I can play it in my car and most of other cars and stereos except in Jetta's lol It is very weird. My question is why it wont play when I use the Cactus protection and is the sys protection enough to protect my cd? and why it wont work on that one stereo.

I also was searching for CCD-Lock but all links for it are down. Is that prog any better?

I have a NEC DVD_RW ND_2500A and use maxtor cd-r.
Any advice is very appriciated
Thanx

Neither program does what you want. I can still copy your discs, 100% guaranteed.

OK...what programs do you recomend? Or just a solution to my problem. Maybe be you can copy it but others dont know.
thanx

There is no solution. Sony and other major labels have yet to find a HARDWARE method of protecting audio cd's that can't be beaten with a piece of tape or a sharpie... and you think you're going to download something that does what their multi-million-dollar programs don't? Puh-leeze.

Just give up. Seriously, there is no honest reason to want to do this anyway. No offense, but EVERY time someone comes in here asking this - and it happens once or twice a week - it's because they want to try to do something vaguely illegitimate. If that isn't you, kudos! But be aware that you still can't do that.

The reasoon I want to do this is because I make my own mixes and give them out to friends and people. I play at my local clubs and jus hand the cd's out. I put a nice label on them with my name so ppl know its my. I dont want someone to copy my cd'd with NERO and call tell everyone it was them that made it...you feel me?

As a DJ for many years, I can understand where you are coming from...Things like that would have bothered me years ago, but seem rather petty now. Gurm is right bro, just don't worry about it. If someone uses your CD to get a gig and then doesn't perform well, then they won't get booked again. Anyone that would have to say your mix was theirs, will not succeed in the music business. I wouldn't worry about the few people that would do that, or the few that would listen to the CD thinking it was someone elses.

You right....but all I want to do is just use this little program to put a little protection on the cd's so that a moron with no knowledge of computers could copy it. And with CAP and the sysProtection method I get that....nero wont copy it it shows as only one track....but it does not play in certain cd-players. All I want to know is what the problem could be and can it be fixed....are the cd's to cheap or the cd drive. Thats all I want to know lol
If the problem cant be solved thats cool....i'll live with it.

Too much trouble man, you are wasting your time...trust me! Concentrate more on mixing, and checking out new tracks/gear/etc...

The problem is that no matter what program you use, if the disc is still playable on a CD player then EAC or any other half-decent ripper will rip it.

I hear ya man....if there is no quick solution then screw it...I'll live with it.

Oh and Gurm...you still dont get my drift dude. Im not trying to make the cd un-rippeble....that is imposible...instead im trying to eliminate little programs that wont copy them like NERO or windows mediaPlayer. Believe it or not not everyone knows about EAC. but anyways....

Thanx guys!

Tough. You can't prevent it.
A copy protection method might prevent Joe Casual User from ripping your cd, but any even vaguely competent user (or a Linux one) can rip your discs with ease anyway.

DJMind and Gurm are absolutely right, nevertheless I can understand your motives.
