From Rick Wildin, USA
Copying: Cannot copy using Windows XP ver. 9 Media Player. Tried to copy CD with Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum and first 11 sec. of song 1 played over and over.
From Jeremy, Sacramento, California
Copying: the first track causes both mac (itunes) and PC computers to freeze or stall when trying to copy. mac/osx itunes eventually skips first track and moves to copy other tracks w/o problem. on window2000pro (db poweramp music converter, audio cd input) the first track completely fails to copy--it copies a blank track which does nothing but eat memory) and the computer eventually ejects the cd. if the windows default tries to play the cd through winamp the operating system alerts me that "new software must be downloaded to play this cd" and gives me the option to "download now" or "cancel"
From Dan, Madison, Alabama
Copying: Won't play properly in my car stereo - Starts on track 13. Seek-up or down from anywhere only goes to track 1. But play others if you just let it run. For Computers - you must download a program off the CD first.
From kc!, San Jose, California
Copying: No copying on a mac, no playing on a mac (except a very poor quality version using an included player), i can see all the tracks but it gives an error when it tries to play, copy, or access the disc. No visible markings on the outside of the disc.

I found this out while trying to get a co-workers cd to play in his computer:

Upon inserting the cd, it locks the cdrom drive and will not release without using the old paper clip technique.

The CD will play in certain players but not others and it installs some crappy software player on your machine that sounds terrible and gives little control. PS, Best Buy, if you buy a CD from them and it is copy protected and it won't play in your machine, they don't give a f*ck. To bad for you cause they are not going to refund your money even though it does not work.
