- CDROM drives (apparenly all of them) will *not* allow you to read the
- data bits from an audio track, unless the "copying allowed" bit is set
- in the Table of Contents (TOC) on the CD. I've never heard of any audio
- CD with this bit set.
-
- This is merely a matter of the CDROM drive makers doing what the music
- industry wants. Money talks.
