I've managed to rip most of my CD collection including the 'copy controlled'
ones using either KAudioCreator or K3B. I've so far only had one CD that
wouldn't rip and that was Layla by Derick and the Dominoes SACD.


---> I also find that Xine plays copy-controlled CDs with no problem. I just
play them like any normal CD; Xine doesn't even notice that they are
different. I know I had to enable DMA for the drive, but I think that was to
play DVDs, not CDs. It was a long long time ago.

sudo apt-get install xine

should fix your problem if you don't want to rip the CD.

(I like the Xine interface better too, but of course that's a matter of
taste.)
