I noticed that out of the ones listed on that one website listed above, that I have two that's listed on the "very bad" part of it and I do remember trying to rip one of them and when I listened to it on my Rio, that the files had this overwhelming flutter noise. It was "White Lillies Island" by Natalie Imbruglia... (I'm glad I didn't find Def Leppard yet)
I looked at a sampling of my collection and about half of them are those "nature" CDs and a few classical ones and only a few of them have the "compact DISK" thing anywhere on the case or the lable on the CD itself, some others have something but it's something called HDCD?? but it works fine on my players and computer.
Out of the ones that have software extras on them, all of my Keiko Matsui CDs more recent than "Dream Walk" and excluding "Whisper in the Mirror" (no software stuff) has the "enhansed CD" mark on the back of the case (oh this includes "Dream Walk" too but for some odd reason my copy of that release doesn't have the software on it)... KoRn "Untouchables" doesn't have "enhansed CD" mark, and on the new Keiko Matsui, the only place that says "enhansed CD" in any way is on the CD itself.
The only thing my enhansed CDs have in common is that they all have Quicktime and/or Macromedia Flash logos on the cases.
Oh and before I end this reply, would this be the sign of the times when I plop in a Mozart CD that I bought years ago and Real One player tries to load but I can't bring the CD up on it without freezing the program? and would it also be the sign of the times when I put in the "Untouchables" CD in my computer with the intent to rip a few songs....the CD is accessed okay and plays okay but when I go to rip, the program freezes??? Is that a security device??
Also does this new format that this thread is about....would I be able to play these new disks via Real One player or does it HAVE to be through WMP????
I thought that the two main memories in a computer were RAM and ROM.....since when did computers stop using Read Only Memory and start using this Magnetic Mass Memory stuff? by the way the article says, it leads me to believe that ROM is suddenly no more, that the two memories in a computer are RAM and MMM.....
Slashdot Mirror
Would that new stuff play on older players?
