Just need to turn off AutoPlay. But still, it's not very ethical to
hijack somebody else's property to protect your own interests. (In other
situations I believe that's called "theft".) And it's not like it's
going to stop the geniune criminals - only the paying customers.

Indeed.

RockBox plays that format on my iAudio M5L... but then so did the
manufacturer's original firmware. ;-)
Personally, I use CDex for ripping. Put in a disk, tell it what the
tracks are called, hit rip. It generates the Vorbis files, names them,
and encodes the metadata into them. Copy and play...
