Eminem #2 on Gracenote... Before Release

asavage writes "According to this article on news.com last week, Eminem's "The Eminem Show," which was yet to be released, cracked the chart at No. 2. This is the first time an unreleased CD has been number 2 on this list of CD's played in computers." I've pre-ordered my copy and am looking forward to hearing it. But its pretty amazing that Gracenote registers a pirated CD #2 without the benefit of it being for sale yet. Thank god they shut down napster and stopped piracy.

    Oh dear, my idealism is shattered, now that I know that Slashdot readers listen to "pop"ular music as opposed to only Pagannine, Vivaldi, and Mozart.

    I just don't know how to handle this.

    ...a way to pirate music that the artist hasn't even written yet

    Too late...

    The Beatles already did that to Oasis.

    Does this mean that Gracenote could be infected with the Klez virus or something else, so oulook users should receive text messages, just in case? :-)

    ...Celine Dion's A New Day Has Come, which is supposed to be unplayable in computers due to its copy protection...

    What a coincidence; it's also unplayable in CD players due the horrible sounds that come out of the speakers when you hit the play button.
