Is there any way I can rip it at all?

(even though they say it cant be done)

(the secret track)

Yes, should be quite easy.

I don't have the cd, but if the track is there in this manner, thats ing brilliant.

1.Rewind it to the "start" of the song and pause it on a portable cd player.
2. Connect the headphone jack to your microphone or line-in jack on your PC via an audio cable with 2 1/8" connectors (avaliable at radio shack, target, or many many other stores with basic electronics).
3. Open your favorite recording software (I recommend Audacity or Sony Soundforge (and a tangental you to Sony for buying out SonicFoundry)
4. Press record in the software
5. Press play on your portable disc player.


WahLah, you are ripping the track in real time. Note that you may have to greatly amplify the ripped result, or run the portable disc player through an amplifier (I recommend a DJ mixer if you have one, as it will allow you to monitor the output as you rip) to get audible sound. If you do this, I would be interested to hear how it goes...

It doesn't say it can't be done, it says computer players won't allow you to do this. If you can listen to it, you can rip it. Just hook up a standalone player to a recording device, move back to the secret track, and play it whilst recording the output.

No secret track?

yeah...you just can't do it on your computer because it won't let you go past the 00:00 time...

New way? I have a CD from around 1998 where they hid a track in the same manner ;)

Hmm what was suppose to be the problem with ripping it in the CD-ROM drive of your computer? It's easily ripped with softwares like Audiograbber and many others straight from the CD, i just did. I looked Properties of track 1 and it showed the track was starting at 6:05 so i changed the actual starting point to 0:00 and voila! It was ripped with no problems whatsoever. If you want only that track, change the ending to 6:05 so it won't rip the actual track 1 as well.

Yep that 'before track 01' style of hiding bonuses has been made for years, not a new thing at all.
