Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES

I loved her first album. This is awfully boring.

I'll be buying it soon and will try it on my (older and newer) Macs. I havent' run into any CD's yet that I haven't been able to copy if so desired. (even ones that were supposedly copy protected.) With a little research it can be seen that the redbook format does not support any type of encryption/protection, so all these hacks to try to add it after the fact are just that - lame hacks. Easily circumvented I think, with a bit of effort and the right hardware/software combo. Who are the record companies kidding, anyway? copy protection only pisses off legitimate users/owners of the music, those who will rip it off will do so anyway, so-called 'copy protection' or not.

We'll see.....

I just burned a copy for my personal use. I have a Mac. Guess there is no problem with iTunes. I was doing some surfing on Ebay and found someone selling this disc. Couldn't see the label very well. But looked like it denoted that it was copy protected. I think they have been doing more of that in the UK.

Send a message. Don't purchase this release.

As much a I love her music and as much as I need well recorded stuff, I will not support this crap.

I will spend my money on other artists and other labels.
