Very happily I rec'd today the first new Bangles CD in 14 years.
Well, the m-fing record company has "copy control" technology implemented
so that you cannot rip mp3s from it. The sharpie hack--filling in the edge
of the disc with a marker--allowed me to get tracks 2-15, but track 1 still
eludes me. It's times like this that make me doubt my Randian technophilia.
UPDATE: How to hack a copy control CD.
Musicmatch can handle tracks from #2 on if you outline the edge of the CD
in black sharpie (the 'height' of the CD, not the top or bottom edge). This
particular album had an autorun file attached, causing it to launch a player
automatically when inserted into the CD. Open Musicmatch and let the CD autoplay.
Hit pause on the CD's player, then hit back. This cues up the CD's player
to track 1. Now you can have Musicmatch's recorder rip track 1.
