Audio-CD
========

Since pointless restrictions are a nuisance not only on DVDs and oder
video media but also on Audio-CDs, AnyDVD HD will take are of these as
well. 

.. note:: The Audio CD features in AnyDVD HD do not replace a very good CD copy
   software like our `CloneCD`_. They are meant to help resetting standards
   that were deliberately destroyed and to complement inferior copy software.

* **Remove CD Digital Audio Protection**
   This option allows you to play, copy and rip protected Audio CDs.
   What it does is to cache the TOC (Table of Contents) of the media.
   If AnyDVD detects an Audio CD, it will modify the TOC to represent a 
   valid, Red-Book Audio CD. Illegal Start and Stop timings are corrected 
   and additional sessions are deleted. If player software or the 
   Operating System request the TOC they will get the cached TOC from AnyDVD.

  .. note::
     This feature does not work with all protections and not with all 
     drives! If this feature is enabled, Multimedia content on Audio CDs
     will not be visible.

* **Always show Dialog to set Audio CD settings for each individual Drive**
   With this option enabled AnyDVD will display a settings dialog each 
   time an Audio CD is inserted.
