MacroVision SafeAudio does *not* use encryption of any kind
whatsoever. CDs with SafeAudio are mastered with deliberately
introduced errors that are corrected by audio CD players but cause
data CD readers to return audio with gaps and corruption.

It is my opinion that CDs that have had the SafeAudio process applied
to them are sold damaged, and that software that copes with this
damage and enables people to rips their own CDs for their own use as
they have always done is to be welcomed.
