    A prudent man

    Makes a backup of his entire CD collection before the discs start doing their famous vinyl impersonation (hiss, crack, pop, scratch, hang and jangle). I'm not particularly prudent, but after a four or five CD's became essentially unplayable, I have decided to make a backup of all my CD's. It's not that arduous a task, I've only got maybe two hundred CD's, and konqueror's audiocd:/ protocol handler makes the task easy enough, and it turns out that those databases with track names even have the track names for the music I listen to, like Camerata Trajectina. (Bah, their website doesn't work, apparently with either Konqueror or Firefox)

    One thing bugs me, though. Why can't I get rid of the message box that tells me "AudioCD: Disk damage detected on this track, risk of data corruption."? I know those disks are old. Just do you best, my dear audiocd:/, and give me the data as best as you can. No need to whine about it. Just give me that nice checkbox 'Never show this message again."
