Has anyone ripped a copy controlled album (emi label) in itunes.
I have this album 'The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang' purchased about 2 years ago when labels were still releasing copy controlled albums and want to rip it in itunes. The problem is will it rip properly or will the file be corrupted.
I was afraid that it might damage the drive so I have not yet tried ripping all these years.
Anyone ripped such an album?

Thanks.
 
I've ripped plenty of EMI copy-controlled CDs, no damage to the drive. They can take some time to mount in the Finder and iTunes with lots of seeking, though.

And one in particular — a Talking Heads album — just wouldn't rip properly, so I just dragged the aiff files onto my desktop and moved them into iTunes before converting them to AACs.
