I have a CD (Foo Fighters - One by One) that I want to rip to add to my MP3 collection on my PC. When I look at the CD from MediaCentre 9, it only shows the data files on the CD and cannot seem to see the audio files. The CD has a small player built in that will auto-start when you insert the CD. This is what mediacentre sees on the CD (not the audio files). I have checked that the "view filter" is set to "show all files" so looking for any help in how to rip this CD. Thanks.

Strange, we haven't run into that problem before. Do you have other "enhanced" CD's that display the same problem, or is it just this one?

May be AIN (autoplay). If you hold the shift key down for 5-10 sec's after inserting CD (which will prevent the built-in player from starting), then "look" at the drive with MC, can you rip then?

It was only subsequently that I realised that the CD was copy-protected and this was the problem. In fact when I removed my CDRW drive and replaced with a normal 8x DVD drive, MC9 could see the files but only rip tracks 2 to 12 (track 1 had all the copy-protection). Eventually got round it by using CloneCD to create an ISO copy of the CD onto my hardfile, then Alcohol 120% to mount this ISO image as another drive (F:) then could use MC9 to rip from this virtual drive rather than the real one. Maybe a good tip for other copy-protected CDs.
