Okay, chastise away.
Last week I reserved the new Stephen King book 11-22-63 (audiobook version) from the local library, figuring I would be about 100th in the queue and that I might get to listen to it in 2014 or so. Well, I got the call yesterday that it was ready to be picked up, so my wife stopped by to get it today. In typical King fashion, it's 30+ hours of material on three mp3 CDs.
I'm still only halfway through my present book, so rather than hang onto this new one for weeks and keep renewing it, I figured I'd make copies of the CDs so I could listen in a few weeks or so. So I fired up Toast and after what appeared to be successful burns (it seemed to take the right amount of time to burn, filling the cache, burning and finishing), I went to check the new CDs and they're showing up on my desktop as empty. Not blank, mind you, because I can't burn anything else on them, but there is 0KB of stuff on there. A single CD shows up in the Finder as two Untitled CDs - each showing "0 items - 735.6 MB available". Looking at the physical disc, it appears that something has been burned onto it. I've tried this twice now, so I have six new coasters.
Did I screw something up or is this some kind of new copy protection I'm encountering?
