Whenever I buy a cd, the first thing I do is put it in my computer and record it. The next thing I do is burn a copy. Then the original cd goes in a big box that I keep all my cd's in, and the burned copy goes in my cd book that I keep in my car. That way if my book gets stolen, or I scratch/break the cd (happens more often than I'd like to admit), I still have the original in new condition.
Unfortunately, I can't do this with One. The 8th song doesn't even PLAY in my computer's cd drive, much less record. That makes me angry.
I heard of cd's that wouldn't play in computers, but thought Prog Rock would be safe from that kind of thing beings as I figured the target audience really doesn't do much pirating. I mean...hell...if we're offered a normal $15 disk vs. a super amazing deluxe $25 dollar disk, what do we all take? I've been known to buy the regular disc if it was all I could find, then go back and buy the $25 disc, just to have it.
The pirating that's gone on in the music industry sucks. I understand musicians and writers feeling harmed by it, but that's not an excuse for them to harm me.
*sigh*
Sorry for the off-topic rant, but this really frustrates me.
