Damaged CD?

Dragonshadow · 05-29-2006, 09:51 AM

I recently bought a copy of Marylin manson's Antichrist Superstar. It's one 16 track CD.
I run it on my computeror CD player, and it displays 99 tracks. THe first 16 play, and then there si the equivlent of 5.4 minutes of silence in over 80 four second tracks. And then teh last track plays.
Is it meant to sound like this? Becasue I doiubt it.
Cheers
DS

Yep, it's a form of copy protection. You often get this on CDs, nothing unusual.

Just as Ross indicated, your task now is to find out if your CD plays on a normal CD player. If so, then you'll have the proof that your CD has copy protection that prevents a computer from playing it very well.

But it doesn't seem to have copy protection...
And it will run on a CD player, still has teh 80 + extra tracks
