here's an extract from the article...
<<
The new restrictions in Windows XP won't prevent other
vendors' software applications from recording MP3 music
at a higher fidelity, but early testers of beta versions
of Windows XP already complain that the most popular MP3
recording applications -- which compete with Microsoft's
format -- don't seem to function properly, apparently
because of changes Microsoft made to how data are written
on CD-ROMs under Windows XP. Microsoft says that while
other software vendors' products may not be "optimized"
to run with Windows XP, those products should run
acceptably with the operating system.

What a load of bollox. how the fuck could the way data
is written to CD's affect the reading & encoding of
sound data? Unless microsoft has changed both the ASPI
and the MSCDEX protocols (which would break tonnes of
other software) then there isn't anything they can do
to stop encoding. Even if they did, you could just sample
the data from the wire connecting the sound card to the CD.
