Copy protected CD to MP3

I've recently bought a cd which turns out to be copy protected. Is there any way in which I could burn this onto my Ipod?

    There are ways and means. If your soundcard has sufficient ins and outs you may be able to loop from your stereo (or even dvd drive) and record it as a straight new mp3. Only ever tried it myself with a top of the range soundcard though.

    And they wonder why people use file sharing.......

    If it plays on your PC it can be copied easily. Does it?

    AnyDVD (despite the name) will also unprotect CD's. Check out https://www.slysoft.com

    You say it plays ok, but no sound? So it does not play?

    Anyway, I tend to use Windac32 or Winamp, ive never had trouble ripping CD audio to WAV files with those.... It's then just a case of converting to MP3 with a suitable application.
