I am making copies of my music cd disks using WMP and until today everything
has been ok. Today I purchased a Streisand "Guilty Pleasures" Dual Disc 2
sided disc and WMP will play it but I can't copy it. Is their something I'm
overlooking or does this CD require a 3rd party program. I can play it on a
standalone music player andf also see it on go.video player but I'd still
like to copy it for backup.

Can you see what files are on CD using windows Explorer? You could copy
those.
Might also be another format - DVD Audio or such.
Google for dual layer rip software, or, at worst, use a software recorder.
You might try some ripping app - Nero should have "free trial" stuff.
Might be some 'antipiracy' protection as well.

It's probably copy protected.

If it is, there will probably be a software program on the CD that will
launch on insertion of the CD and will make copy protected WMA files on your
hard drive for you.
