[QUOTE="Gargantua, post: 500275, member: 36105"] Hello all-- I have read on Consumer Reports in the past about Sony's 2005 XCP copy protection which they included on some 50 cd releases and which resulted in a number of class action lawsuits due to damage to computers, unlawful hard drive monitoring etc. etc. In the CR article (Nov 05), the author mentions that these discs (of which I have two) only effect "Windows PC[s]". I have an Apple Macbook but have so far resisted trying to import these discs into iTunes for fear that something may go wrong. The article also says that XCP will hamper efforts to import these discs on an MP3 or iPod. Naturally, I have an iPod and that is the whole reason I want to get these discs on iTunes in the first place. Question: Anyone out there had any issues with these XCP discs on a Mac, or importing them into an iPod? I've already tried once to make a mix disc with one of these albums and believe me, the copy protection works; it will burn but you end up with an unlistenable mess: the tracks from the protected album skip about every 3 seconds.... Thanks![/s] [/QUOTE]
