I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I think as Steph does, Kate. Just in case you wanted further backup.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I hadn't thought of the copy-protected thing, bicyclops. I'll have to check.

If that is the case, am I just screwed then, and unable to listen to those CDs on my iPod? Because that pretty much sucks.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And aren't more and more CDs being copy-protected these days? I know the Garden State soundtrack is, and I think the new U2 album is too.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Yep- if it's the copyright protection thing, we're screwed for now. I tried bypassing the registration bit, which worked, but it still loads the song into iTunes as a big old garbled mess. I've stopped buying the cds with the label, and so far, both albums I've wanted have been on the iTunes Music Store. But it made me extraordinarily grumpy.

ETA- The two I've wanted have been the new Sarah McLachlan Live cd and Charlotte Martin's 'On Your Shore'.

Is it? I haven't tried to copy it yet, but I did rip it to my iTunes w/o a problem. So if I tried to burn it, I'd be SOL?

It went into my iPod fine, whatever that's worth. But I got the regular one, not the deluxe collector's edition.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

That could be because copy protection doesn't frickin' work.

I don't know about ripping to iTunes or an iPod, but I tried to copy both CDs recently and had no luck.

The only CD I have that won't go into iTunes is Radiohead's "OK Computer," and I think that's probably because I got it from the dollar bin at a used CD store and it's pretty banged up.

But, you know, it plays, so I won't replace it.

I haven't tried copying the new U2 -- even on my 2004 mix, I used a live version of "Sometimes ..." But my downloaded version of "Only Living Boy in New York" from ther Garden State soundtrack burned to CD fine.

Punishingly Intricate

But my downloaded version of "Only Living Boy in New York" from ther Garden State soundtrack burned to CD fine.

Heh. When I got home from seeing Garden State I immediately put on the Simon & Garfunkel record with that song on it. My parent's original 30+ year-old record. That was my favorite album when I was 3. And the record still plays beautifully.
