[PLUG-TALK] ripping a music CD?

[Denis Heidtmann]

I was given a music CD which plays fine on my player, but I would like
to add the contents to my computer's supply of music for convenient
listening.  My computer's Liteon drive did not even recognize the disk
as media.  My son's laptop tried, but could not read the data even
after nearly an hour of trying using grip.

There is nothing on the CD or the packaging which indicates that this
disk is protected in any way.  The only clue may be  IFPI 1697 stamped
into the plastic near the hole.  There is also M1S1 stamped into it.

Anybody have suggestions as to what is going on, and how to get this
thing ripped?
