Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ?

I really don't understand the so called protection that Copy Control provides. I mean I can put the disc on my PowerBook and rip to MP3 and make countless CD's or share the MP3's. Yet, I can't play the damn disc on my emmLabs transport. Yet, it works fine and sounds better on a cheap Cambridge Audio Azur CDP.

I took my disc back to HMV and the clerk said perhaps I should downgrade my CD drive !!!!!!!! He gave me a second copy which I will try out tonight.

Don't have that particular CD(Doves), but I have not had anyissues with the other copy controlled CD's playing on the CDSD transport.

Well, I took the CD back and got my money back. Then, I bought a UK version on amazon.co.uk which doesn't have the damn CopyControl protection and it works fine !!

Meanwhile, what can audiophile consumers do to stop EMI from using Copy Control (other than boycotting EMI) ???

when will I f' learn.

I bought the Canadian version of the new Gorillaz EMI recording called Demon Days which has that dreaded Copy Control. Wouldn't you know, again I can't play it on the emmLabs, without those dreaded clicks and pops.

I don't understand, as I have a number of Copy Control discs that don't have this problem (mainly from UK). I guess the same thing will happen with Coldplay X&Y next month when it comes out.

Here in a previous post of mine, I go into detail about a new revolutionary form of copy protection.
