There are some technologies out there, but I am unaware of consumer
availability. In essence, they utilize the difference between a CD-ROM and
an audio CD player. Audio CD players skip some parts of the spec, whereas
CD-ROM drives must read that portion in order to determine whether it is
looking at data or music. By simply putting in code here that forces an
infinite loop, you can prevent computers from reading it, while audio CD
players just ignore these bits. There's more to it than that, but that's my
fundamental understanding. An FAQ on macrovision's audio CD copy protection
can be found here:
