i don't know about Easy-CD but most of the other CD burner software will
allow you to do a track by track copy (some call it image or SCSI copy)
of the CD, in which case it's only copying 0s and 1s (on a recordable CD
they are physically valleys and ridges but same idea) and this should
work. That is how I've done it (with Toast though)
