How I can copy Music-CD Kuschelrock (Sony-Cd-Prot.)
 

Please help me. My PC can not read the CD

Ok, listen.
I had some protected Music-CD's and I copied it following procedure:
- Use CDRWin 3.8c or later
- use "Sector extracting", DATA-Type "Audio (2352)
- rightclick on the first Audio-Track ( the red circle on the left ) - you'll see the track info's: important are the "Start time" and "Stop time" LBA (Sectors) ! NOTE:
1 second music is equal to 75 sectors !!! ( e.g. 3 minute 42 seconds music = 222 seconds = 16650 sectors !! )
- on the right you insert the start and the stop sector ( e.g. 000000 - 016650 ) and at the top you type the name of the Image ( e.g. C:\Madonna - Music [no need to add an extension] )
- press "Start" - the first music-track will be extracted !
- proceed like this with every single track - after this you'll have every song on your HDD
- but note: maybe the last music-track contains the protection ! That means you have to look on your CD-Cover, remember the length of the song in seconds, multiple it with 75 and note the sector length, then rightclick on the last red circle ( or the right track number ) - you'll see the start-sector, add the sector length = end-sector and insert start / end-sector into the fields on the right !
- if your reader hangs, cut off one sector and so on until it works !

The whole procedure is very boring if you want to extract a lot of tracks, but I haven't found other ways up now - maybe other users have better ideas !!

BTW: I guess you're german, 'cause you use "KUSCHELrock" - if you want to answer me you can write in german, I'm german, too.

Hi,

I don't know whether Bravo Hits 35 has the same protection like your Kuschelrock, but here is what to do:

Use CloneCD to read an image from the CD
(Your writer HASN'T to be compatible!)
Get the tool CDMage (somewhere to find on GCW)
This tool can extract data from almost EVERY image file.
Load the .ccd file into CDMage
Extract the single audio tracks as wave files.

Burn the tracks with your favourite software.

I hope this works for you.
