Did I read that right? It will prevent ripping as well?

Yea you read it right.
There are more articles with a little more detail out there.
I would lay money on it, that it wont get far.
Someone will figure out how to defeat it if it does.

Guess I'm not buying anymore albums.
Not like that's changed from how I usually get my music. Getting lossless music off the web is cool.
I suppose they don't get that this doesn't hurt sales. For example, the CD trading around here - outside of the fact that physical media is being used, it's the same as file sharing. It allows people to discover new music. The fact that they'd like this to be disabled is just the reason they "lose money" when they bitch that they do.

Where do you get lossless of the web?
And then the issue is getting quality playback devices.
I rip my CDs and keep them on my harddrive for convenience. When I want listen critically, I use the CD.

I just bought a SonyBMG album that is copy protected with what I assume is this new copy protection. I returned it when I couldn't play it on my pc at work without installing their special music player software.
It is so hard to comprehend how they think this can be a good idea. I buy my music instead of downloading becauses I believe it is the moral thing to do. But s*&! like this makes me want to download instead. At least then I could do whatever I want to with my music.
And it's not like this copy protection will keep the music from getting onto P2P networks, I mean the cd works just fine on my Mac and on my linux box....which makes the whole DRM thing that much more frustrating.

That article is from December, if you noticed. This already exists on some CD's. The new Foo Fighters is copy protected, for one.

I'm with kaid on this. If we continue to make it less convenient to purchase music legitimately and more convenient to download without paying, this is not going to go well for the music industry. The DRM "dream" might work (something smart enough to let you copy as much as you want for your own use, lend CDs to friends but not use them yourself while lent out etc...) but the basic copy protection is a real problem.
I rarely have time to just sit and listen in the main HT/music area (ie the basement ) so I rely pretty heavily on copied CDs for the upstairs system and the car. Every album I own is bought and paid for (often twice -- LP and CD) but I do rely on being able to have multiple copies.
The only copy protected CDs I own were gifts...
M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39 M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1 LFR1100 active, ADA1500-4 and -8
