Good thing I have absolutely no interest in purchasing this album. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Now, picture that person at Barnes & Noble buying 2600 to learn how to rip their new CD. What I'm trying to say is, you are forcing normal people to become quasi-Hax0rs so they can enjoy their music. That's a funny thought. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

I wonder what would happen if you stuck this disk into one of sony's new hdd based head units. _________________________ Matt
