Julia Franz recently purchased an audio CD that uses the SafeAudio copy protection. She reports exactly the sort of problems that we previously cited as a possibility:

"I was disturbed to find that the CD did not play under OS X. Also, of course, it is impossible to send tracks to my MP3 player without making an analog recording and then ripping to MP3. SafeAudio discs should be labeled so that we can vote with our wallets."
