i have recently been given a new audio CD.
normally i play cds by ripping them and putting them on my mp3 player
(unfortunatly using a windows box as i havent yet managed to get my slack box recognise it!) (linux )

however this new CD is copy protected somhow... you cant even play it on a PC without using their player which is provided on the disk... (as an auto run GRRRR)
all you see is the first 2 tracks (first 6 in M$ windowz media player)

is thewe a sutable linux tool taht can see the files and play/rip them?
if so a link to where i can get it would be great.

the disk is under the BMG label if this helps.
i use slackware 10.2 with xfce

Wouldn't have a clue, does the CD play OK in normal CD players? Try grip to see if that gives you any love.
