Napster and other similar music downloading services provide music files that are copy protected. If I buy a tune from one of these services I'm then limited by the copy protection scheme on the devices I can play that music file on. A common (legal) way to enable playing of the music file on various music reproduction devices owned by copy-protected file owner is to burn the copy-protected music to a CD, then rip the CD to MP3 or WMA or whatever and use that file.
My desire: a software tool that can emulate a music CD burner and create a music CD image on a hard drive. That way I don't have to have a physical CD involved in this process; just a virtual CD image on a hard drive. Does anybody know of any software that can do this?
