Usually "will not play on pc/mac" only means "will not play on pc/mac if the system is misconfigured or the user was stupid enough to install our broken drivers". If the disc can be played in some CD players, there shouldn't be a problem copying the audio tracks either. Most of the time computer drives have better error correction than CD players, rereading some sectors isn't an issue and after copying you even get better disc.=20 Original: Copy (without the data track): My CD player wasn't able to properly play the original version, but the copy played just fine.
