listening to protected audio cds

[Konstantin Svist <fry.kun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Is there a way to listen to "protected" audio CDs in Linux/Fedora?
It seems that most of the time, the CD can't be read at all. Sometimes, 
the system is able to read it after trying for 20 minutes or so - but 
it's not consistent (next time it says can't read the CD)

Why is it possible on windows but not on Linux?

Note I'm not talking about ripping CD - just listening to them.


Thanks
