Hi All, Any suggestions appreciated. I am gradually loading my Cd collection onto my new second hand HDX and have hit a snag with High by the Blue Nile which the HDX seems to rip, it accesses the data base and downloads the album artwork but when trying to play it back there is no sound. Next tried to just play the CD without ripping but it just skips through the tracks without playing them. Did a bit of a browse on the internet and found that it is probably copy protected, thought I would contact the record company but they seem to have gone bust a few years ago so am feeling rather stuck. Anyone got any helpful suggestions?
Do you know anyone with a Mac who could burn you a copy? Even just using iTunes I've never had any copy-protected disc fail to import (though admittedly not tried this specific one). You could then import the copy into the HDX

Thanks for your suggestions, looked at EAC but did not like the look of all the warnings from McAfee, and don't have a friend with a Mac. So tried a new approach which I'm glad to sat did work. One of my children has an old Pioneer CD recorder which I hooked up to my old CD player which I knew would play High and made a recording that way. I have just put this recording into my HDX and it seems to have made a perfect copy - thank goodness. I am grateful for your suggestions as they helped to put me on the right track - so to speak. The other reason I am pleased is because this album - after not being too impressed when I first heard it - has grown into own of my most played and I would have been very disgruntled if I could not get it onto my HDX.

If you've got it from exactaudiocopy.de then there is no problem and the warnings are false positives by McAfee. Should try ESET that's a proper Virusscanner
