Wie ich hoerte [1], laueft die CD uebrigens auch nicht auf SA- CD-Playern von Sony. Schon amuesant, man kauft einen CD-Player der neuesten Generation, legt dafuer zwischen 1500 und 5000DM auf den Tisch, und kann noch nicht einmal alle CDs abspielen.

White Lillies Island, which includes current anti-melody hit single That Day , features Cactus Data Shield protection. This is designed to prevent MP3-ripping by corrupting the table of contents so it won't play on a PC, NTK.net reports today. Bizarrely, Natalie's album contains a Windows app that will allow the entire album to be played on a WindowsOS PC. It's in an MP3 format, run at 128Kbps. Odd. Needless to say, it's been ripped and copies are already up on file-swap sites (in fact they were there before the album was offi- cially launched). There have been some reports that it is crashing Windows machines, but it appears to working according to plan by not working on Linux or MacOS - making Windows the operating system of choice for pirates. Michael Jackson's new album Invincible was widely expected to be the first to impose copyright-protection constraints imposed by the re- cording industry. � ---------------------------------------------------------snip----- MfG Olaf, ./fx3 [1] N�heres in de.comp.hardware.laufwerke.brenner Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ff
