you could TRY making an image of the disc(s) using something like Nero, then use Daemon Tools to virtually mount the image

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Generally you can NOT just Copy a Game to a CD or DVD and Expect it to work like the Original, especially with Newer Games...In most cases with Copied Games you will need a "No-CD/DVD Patch" to get them to Work...

Well not exactly. The problem most of the time is getting the image back onto disc so that it works. Generally it is possible to create a working image. Using no CD's would definatly be another way. Problem with noCD's though is that you need a new one each time the game is updated.
