Protecting a burned CD
Possibly off-topic but I want to prevent a burned CD (by myself) of audio conversations being copied?
Can this be done and how do I achieve it? Many thanks |

the music companies themselves can't even prevent it so not sure why you think you would be able to.
the only way to prevent it is to not give the CD to anyone. |

It isn't music! It's personally recorded speech audio but I don't want it copying.
I just wondered if there something buried in a CD burning programme (such as iTunes or Windows) that prevents copies being made. But like you say, if record companies with all their millions at their disposal, can't prevent it, what hope does an individual! |

That way no-one who knows the way to decrypt it can play it. |

Can't you simply protect the CD as a physical object? Don't let anyone else get their mitts on it.
Alternatively, rename it to 'boring rubbish.abc'. Then rename it when you want to play it (or create a copy which you delete afterwards). That worked for me when I had solitaire on PCs at work, which was banned and they could search your computer for. |

Don't give to anyone or cut it in half.
