Use a piece of software called CloneCD - i think it might be freeware, it will get past CD copy protection with a few settings being tweaked!

Two products that I'm aware of for making identical copies.

http://www.blindwrite.com/ or http://www.elby.org/CloneCD/english/

Hope you not planing on backing your cd's and keeping them off site, eg your mates house.

Edited to add both you are expected to pay for!

Of course any sensible backup strategy includes keeping off-site backups. Don't see any reason why this shouldn't apply to audio CDs too.

CloneCD is currently the best mainstream complete disc cloning program IMO, but as people have mentioned, only certain writers can take advantage of what this program can do.
With the right drive, there is only one current form of protection that this program cannot currently handle, if memory serves

http://www.geocities.com/pcp-freak/4cdfreaks/SafeDisc2.html will give you an idea of the best drives really for this sort of thing

http://forum.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?s=0ea1f9488ee0670b6d16c5d56a46307 d&forumid=18

Not all of these drives can do everything, as in create the perfect clone image for the writer to write. In some cases, you will need a good CDROM drive to pull the data off the original correctly.

I currently use an Acer 1208A Drive and an Acer 2010A drive for this sort of thing, coupled to an Aopen AKU40Pro reader.


Hope this has been of use.


Cheers,


Nick.
