I once again think I'm getting got at!

I decided to fill up the CD for my pal with some of MY bluegrass recordings, as the ones he supplied were suffering from being on a very old cassette tape, so I slipped a commercial CD into the drive and started to rip the files. Unlike iterations of old, this Music Player has the 'rip' button hidden, the obvious exposed one doesn't work at all. You have to search for it. So, having found it and included the CD in my library, I engaged the 'burn' engine, to be told that "One or more of these files cannot be burned".

It isn't paranoia if someone really is out to get you, is it?
