copy protection on music cd's?

[jonnyjack]

hey,

i searched the forums but didn't find anything, so if this has been posted please link for me...

have any of you guys experienced problems copying audio cd's? for some reason the last 2 tracks of cd's i copy always skip like crazy...at first i thought it was my reader (plextor 40x w/ latest firmware, 1.13) because i am able to copy the tracks perfectly using my writer (panasonic 4x8)...this is a hassle since i can't do on the fly unless i copy those couple of tracks first and then do it...i just noticed this with new cd's, i tested out an old cd from like 5 years and it copied fine...so anyone know what's going on?

PS i'm really backing up some cd's, i don't want to carry my originals with me in the car as replacing them if they are stolen costs a lot more than a couple of cd-r's...EDIT: just so the mods know, i'm not looking for ways around it, but rather seeing if other people have the same problems and if there is indeed a copy protection and it's not my hardware...but if you really feel the need to lock this thread, go ahead...

Yeah, im having the same problem with a couple of my CDs. I'd also be interested in how to get around the copy protection. thanks
