The instructions are already out. I wonder what "LaunchCD.exe" buries in one's
PC?

ms/

If you have a PC place the CD into your computer and allow the CD to
automatically start. If the CD does not automatically start, open your Windows
Explorer, locate the drive letter for your CD drive and double-click on the
LaunchCD.exe file located on your CD.

Once the application has been launched and the End User License Agreement has
been accepted, you can click the Copy Songs button on the top menu.

Follow the instructions to copy the secure Windows Media Files (WMA) to your
PC. Make a note of where you are copying the songs to, you will need to get to
these secure Windows Media Files in the next steps.

Once the WMA files are on your PC you can open and listen to the songs with
Windows Media Player 9.0 or higher. You may also play them in any compatible
player that can play secure Windows Media files, such as MusicMatch,
RealPlayer, and Winamp, but it will require that you obtain a license to do so.
To obtain this license, from the Welcome Screen of the user interface, click on
the link below the album art that says If your music does not play in your
preferred player, click here. Follow the instructions to download the alternate
license.

Using Windows Media Player only, you can then burn the songs to a CD. Please
note that in order to burn the files, you need to upgrade to or already have
Windows Media Player 9 or greater.

Once the CD has been burned, place the copied CD back into your computer and
open iTunes. iTunes can now rip the songs as you would a normal CD.

Please note an easier and more acceptable solution requires cooperation from
Apple, who we have already reached out to in hopes of addressing this issue. To
help speed this effort, we ask that you use the following link to contact Apple
and ask them to provide a solution that would easily allow you to move content
from protected CDs into iTunes or onto your iPod rather than having to go
through the additional steps above. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
Please let us know if we can assist you further.
