The problem as I understand it is that the cd players play cds that comply with the original "red book" standard. The copy protected cds do
not comply with the standard ie they are not a cd. I suppose this is the point of standards!

Spot on
He doesn't stand a chance going after VW although I do remember someone recently getting a payout from a record label as the new cds aren't
in fact a music cd
He may as well try sue VW because he cant play 8 track tapes in it

The problem is with the CD not with the player
The new antipiracy stuuf on new CDs mean they dont conform to the CD stanard - so they aren't actually cds.

I've got heaps of C.D.'s I can't play anywhere save a select few players. I've often wondered if I could get record companies to
either buy me a new CD player or give me back my money?

If I'm looking at buying a CD player what should I look for?
At the moment I'm looking at a new portable CD/tape/radio for the shed and garden. I've noticed some are marked CDW-RW. I guess this means
I can play CD's I've burned myself. Is this the problem being discussed though?
It seems more that commercially recorded CDs are a problem in some players.
