We should label this headline "Here We Go Again".
Okay we now have Safeaudio version 3 that
"will let "honest" PC users make personal copies of their CDs and transfer them to their MP3 players".
But does it affect the sound on the CD?
"SafeAudio changes the music data at the bit level, flipping a fraction of a disc's billions of 1s and to 0s. That "very subtle" degree of data corruption, while enough to block an attempt to copy a track onto a hard drive, won't affect the quality of the playback or affect the disc's physical playability. The noise induced by dirt and scratched easily drowns out the noise inherent in the copy-protected data".
So what about hackers?
"some users have utilised CD drives' Raw mode, which permits pure bit-by-bit copying of the data on a disc. SafeAudio ensures that files copied this way still contain the data corruption, which then prevents them being copied again - back to a CD-R".
Will it work?
Personally i give safeaudio till the end of the day before it's history.
