Is this the copy protection that can be defeated by running a black marker over the middle ring of the CD? The Lord of the Rings soundtrack was the same thing. I actually had to pipe my CD deck into my computer, record the whole thing as a WAV file and then break up the tracks myself. That was before I read about the magic marker thing, but I wasn't sure if it was the same copy protection or not. I think PC's have replaced stereos for a *lot* of people. My father in law, for one, only has his computer to play CDs and I know at least three others in my family alone who don't own a stereo. I wonder what Bill and Jimi would think about all this. Well, I don't need to wonder actually, it's pretty obvious what they'd think.
