I missed it too. I very nearly sent the "CD" back when I
found it wouldn't play straightforwardly on my PC and
I certainly don't appreciate music companies trying to
put their software on my PCs.

I don't understand why the music companies want to
piss off people who want to give them money. Let's see:

Option 1 - spend money to buy CD, can't play CD on
               computer, can't play CD in car, get unwanted
               software on PC undermining PC security

Option 2 - go to net, download the mp3s, burn CD
               all done

Sounds like the music companies don't want to sell
CDs to me......

And why did EMI pick on the Aeroplanes? I've checked
the stack of CDs next to this PC and the only one out
of Bush/Ariel, Aeroplanes/Life, Franz/You, Polwart/Faultlines,
Amplifico/Hometakes, Hollow Horse/Beggarstown, Gilmour/Island,
Dury/Panties, Young/Greatest, Costello/Forces, Gadgets/Dreamer,
and Aeroplanes/Swagger  that is "copy protected" is Swagger.
(Actually, Gadgets Ga Ga "Dreamer" wont play on my hi-fi as the
disk is a funny size but plays just fine in the PC).

Anyhow, I've got a long flight on Saturday and I'm looking
forward to listening to whole of Swagger a couple of times
on my mp3 player.
