The Infamous Shift Key

I meant to put this entry up along time ago but kept forgetting about it. Whenever you buy a new music CD (or any data CD, DVD) and pop it into your Windows based PC, hold down the <shift> key to bypass any autoplay program on your computer or any malicious DRM that’s on the CD. Be sure to hold it down until the drive is done spinning up; otherwise those programs will still run. You can then rip normally with your preferred rippa’.

And if you want to disable autorun permanently on your computer, try this helpful tutorial.
