New CD-R drives can mount next gen copy protected CDs??

[SIZE=4]CD Copying Redux[/SIZE]

Speaking of music, I have been keeping up on the reviews of CD-R drives on a few sites and was pleased to learn that the new Lite-On 48x burner can mount some of the copy protected CD's out there, so at least you can rip the ones that do sound decent.

Remember the info on the Lite-On 24x burner that I discussed earlier? The OEM product? As it turns out, the 32x, 40x and 48x Lite-On drives all seem to be able to copy Safe Disk 2 drives with no problem at all. In fact, the Lite-On is becoming a major force in the industry. From the reviews I have read, the newish TDK VeloCD 40x12x48x internal is based on the Lite-On hardware, which means it too should be able to do full Safe Disk 2 backups and mount copy protected music CD's. Be sure to check out CDR-Info and CDR Labs for more details on these lightning fast burners.

Thanks for this info P66, I've been looking at buying one of these drives for a long time now but wasn't sure if the new(er) drives where as good as the old ones...
