Can import CD, but doesn't play correctly
Hello! I'm fairly new to the iPod world. I've been trying to import my massive music library into my iPod, which has been pretty successful...that is, until I tried importing Foo Fighters' In Your Honor (double disc). Apparently, when i import it, it plays back as if it were playing in a CD player and skipping. When placed in various other CD players, it doesn't seem to skip at all. (The back is free of scratches, also.) The quality is terrible and there's no way that I can listen to something like that. Is there a way around this?
I have browsed the help section and it suggested I go to iTunes and do the following: Choose Edit > Preferences, then click the Advanced tab and click Importing. Check the box "Use error correction when reading Audio CDs".
I've tried both checking and unchecking the box to no avail.
I certainly don't feel that I should have to purchase the album from iTunes since I have already purchased the double disc set on CD.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

That CD is copy protected-- there should have been a sticker on it saying so. The claim is that the copy protection prevents "unauthorized duplication" but in fact it prevents any satisfactory duplication at all-- even for perfectly legitimate uses.
Return the CD and raise hell. Do a search for "In your honor/Foo Fighters" for more info.

To the previous post, I did rip it to my hard drive with the same results.
I believe you are right, it is copy-protected. How crappy. It's understandable, I guess. Although obviously none of my other Foo Fighter's CDs were.
Thanks for your help!
They put these copy protected CDs out in dribs and drabs, almost like they're trying to sneak them in and get people used to the idea, but if we just refuse to buy them (or take them back when we realize we've been shafted) they'll give it up. Always check for copy protection stickers and let the store owners know that you won't be buying those.
For what it's worth, most bands, including the Foo Fighters, think copy protection is a bad idea. Some of them even give hints for getting around it on their web sites. Further reading on the nature of the beast here.
Thanks for all of your help!
