I am trying to burn my copy of "A Bigger Bang" onto my computer. Since the disc is copy-controlled, a message comes up telling me that I require a specific licence to do so, and I can go to the following link to acquire this licence:

[www.musiconline.com]

When I go to this site, however, I get the old error message "this page cannot be displayed".

Is there away around this annoying procedure so I can add the tracks to my computer jukebox? Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Ride like the wind at double speed.....

Just download 'em off some torrent website. I did that too. And I have the original ABB too. Twice, even..

Thanks Reptile. Any suggestions on which website I could (or should) download the songs from?

[www.mininova.org]

try that for starters!

Rolling Stones Tribute

Play Rolling Stones

Get the Japanese copy of BIGGER BANG...it has no copy protection and sounds a million times better.....

Really????? How come? Is it the LP mix?

Use a cd ripper like CdEx [sourceforge.net]
you can convert into mp3 or just grab it as wave files. worked good for me.
Don't touch that .exe file on ABB Cd!!!
copycontrol sucks - its like your phone is tapped or a web cam on the loo - grrr.

In japanese shops you can buy ABB copy controlled and the japanese version which has no copy control, which is more expensive. But HMV actually advertizes them in the shop with an adhesive proclaiming: "NO CC". But hell yeah, once you bought it you might as well download one for free.

A ripper like "audiograbber" works Ok too, it just takes ther track off the Cd and you can dump it on your PC drive as either a .wav or a .mp3 file.

i ripped my copy perfectly with windows media player !!!
my copy is also copy controlled. believe it or not

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'l have a look into this all.

The pirate bay or Torrent Reactor would also do.
Or just follow Rockman's excellent advice.
I had no problems.

Strange cause my version of ABB burnt to Itunes on a mac no probs.....

Maybe we got Japanese copies?
