Ooh. That's interesting. I didn't know that was feasible
to create ``copy protected''[1] audio CDs with consumer
CDR drives.  (I'd be very surprised if it were possible
with non-disk-at-once ones, for instance.  Perhaps I won't
upgrade my antique one yet.)

Another question: do they attempt to implement their own
CD burning software, or do they supply you with files of
real CDDA audio? I presume that it must be the latter,
since CD burning is not a trivial exercise and it wouldn't
really be worth their while licensing a CD burning program
which might not work with some customers' equipment
anyway.

    1. I'm fully aware that it's possible to create
       corrupt CDs with CDR drives, but that's a different
       sort of corrupted....
