Ok, i know this has probably been discussed a thousand times. I bought a CD it has CDS100 protection. I want to listen to it on my computer. And also put it on to my Mini Disc player. I don't really know alot about computers though, can someone please help me. It would be greatly appreciated. :)

Although there are workarounds for this sort of thing, I do not know them. However, I do have a solution for you.
Record the CD back into your computer. Set up a feed from the CD player's analogue outputs directly into the Analogue in of your soundcard.
OK - it's not a digital copy, but you will effectively be resamping the Audio directly and then you will be able to do anything you want with it.

I have to say that although I understand the reasons for using Copy Protection, I find these type of CD's extremely disturbing for several reasons:
1/. You bought it, yet the record company is trying to enforce how you listen to it, and what you listen to it on. With Media Centre PC's becoming more & more common, this is just fascist in approach & will not stop Piracy. Who are they to tell you what you must play it on? What next - it will only play on an EMI CD Player???
2/. It is not actually a proper CD-Audio disc, and therefore should not have the CD-Audio (Compact Disc Digital Audio) Logo on it, as this is in breach of Philips TDA on their logo usage
3/. As it is not an Audio CD, but instead a CD-ROM, it should be clearly marked as such
4/. If you want to put it onto a portable system once you have bought it, does this not come under Fair Use?
5/. How are you supposed to make a backup? CD's damage easily, and even software companies allow you to make a backup for personal use.

Myself, I would take it back & demand a refund as it is NOT a proper CD, but software instead. This is simply outrageous

LOL, and sorry for the rant.
