hi,
i've been looking on the net for information about encrypting audio cd's.
i mix my own cd's and because cd burners are so common, they get copied alot and i was wondering if i add encryption to them? Like cds and dvd's in the shops?

Welcome!

I have heard for such utils but never used any. Maybe someone with more knowledge to help you.

I also never used such utils, sorry...

...but....take a look from other side...even if you encrypt your music...dont think that this will prevent your CD's from being copied all over (at least if they proove to be a potential big earners). You need to know that hackers and crackers are always a step ahead...or at least walking hand in hand with manufacturers of such encryption software....so i dont believe that this protection will last for long...but...if you believe its worth to try....then why not...go ahead and let us know later of the results...

oh...and Welcome to the forum!

SiliconFreak.

p.s.
Dont think that i support illegal activities like copying or anything...its just that i am being realistic...and the point is...that so far...NOONE has find some unique 100% protection against copying,viruses, spyware,adware,and everything else....so i dont believe thats gonna change soon.

Good Luck with Your protection and I wish You get many many buyers of Your CD! btw...what genre is the music that you make?

Thanks for the replies.
I know it wont stop people copying cd's, but it will confuse and stop some people... who dont no how to get around it. (even though its easy)!

I make dance music CD's, scouse house, hard dance bouncy house.. etc.

Is there some freeware-promo CD available? PM me if the answer is positive... Btw...you may encrypt it if you wish....cause i wont copy it...i promise...it would be for my own satisfation...

(and if I like it much...I will recommend you to everyone interested so they would contact you in case they want their CD's - for your market price offcourse)
