So I was copying our CD collection to the music directory on my PC so we could listen to it through the Audiotron music player (only CDs which we own).
Went to load an MCA disk (a Vince Gill Christmas album, FWIW), and it started an install process for a "Required Music Player"; will not play as a CD.
WTF? I know Sony tried to pull this a while back, were called on it, changed course.
How do they make a CD that an ordinary CD player sees as audio, but a PC cannot see except as data with programs, etc., and is there a workaround (besides suing the deceptively-trading ****-eating bastards for selling us a stunted product)?
Grr!
