XCP protected albums
This list is constantly evolving. If you know of an album that uses the Sony BMG XCP protection with the "$sys$" rootkit, please post in the comments section. As well, I hope to document the band's responses to being copy protected.
A full list of albums has been compiled by xtracto and can be found here on /.
"In Your Honor" - Foo Fighters
"Z" - My Morning Jacket (the band's response)
"12 Songs" - Neil Diamond
"Nothing is Sound" - Switchfoot (the band's response)
"Twentythree" - Tristan Prettyman
"Get Right With the Man" - Van Zant

If you're a PC user, and you haven't yet tried to import the the disk yet, download and install a free program called CDEX from http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/downloads.php. Now hold down the shift button while inserting the switchfoot CD (this disables the auto-run feature on the CD). Make sure that you hold it down until you are sure that nothing has run (maybe 60 seconds). Once the CD is loaded without auto-running it's software, open the CDEX program, and select tracks 1-12 (Lonely Nation-Daisy), excluding data tracks 13 and 14. THen select the top icon on the right side of the program "Extract CD tracks to WAV files". THis will extract them to your mymusic folder. Open iTunes and drag the .wav files you created into your itunes library, and you're done, and free to convert the songs into mp3, or whatever format you wish. (If you've already tried to import another copy protected CD like Foo Fighters, etc..., you may already have the protection software installed on your computer, and should go to plan B
If you're a PC user, and you've already tried to import the the disk and accepted the auto-run installation, or don't mind accepting the auto-run installation, place the CD into your computer and allow the Sony BM audio player on the CD to automatically start. If the player software does not automatically start, open your Windows Explorer. Locate and select the drive letter for your CD drive. On the disc you will find either a file named LaunchCD.exe or Autorun.exe. Double-click this file to manually start the player.
