This is a known issue which I have tried to solve for several days last week without luck. There are some drives, especially CD burners, which try to read unreadable sectors on a CD infinitely, instead of returning an error code after a while. There is nothing we can do about. As a workaround, simply switch off the drive or disconnect it from the computer (ONLY if it is FireWire or USB, not if it's SCSI because this can damage your host adapter) when you think nothing happens during authorization. After a while the Mac will complain that the drive does not answer. Then reconnect or power on the drive, and SoundDiver will think the copy protection is ok. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager
