I know what you mean (DRM).

Still, I'd rather have a real crypto-based DRM that doesn't screw up audio quality (well, DVD-A has optional audio content watermark, but I think it'll die soon enough).

The problem with CDs is that because they are so easy to copy, they will be fucked up by all sorts of nasty copy protections that make them unplayable everywhere and even worsen the sound quality.

I'd rather have limited ripping capability, but GREAT sound quality than limited sound quality and GREAT rippability.

But then again, 99.999% of the music I listen to I own (I think I have 2-6 burned CDs?) and even that is mostly vinyl...

regards,
Halcyon

PS Back to the original thread: does anybody know what the test CDs are that CDR Info uses? I haven't heard of them before...
