A question for those who purchased Metallica's "St. Anger" album.....

[Strider]

Earlier tonight, I purchased my own copy of Metallica's "St. Anger" at my local Barnes & Noble. Now, I usually listen to all the albums I purchase on my computer. Once I arrived home, I put the album into my CD drive, but it refused to work.

I tried other CD's, and they all worked. So it's definitely not my CD drive that's the problem. I'm thinking it could be album, but that just doesn't sound right to me.

As for my question, have any of you (who have the album) experienced any problems playing it in your CD drive? Of course, this is if you do actually play CD's on your computer....

Thanks in advance.....

Strider, dude, you have just earned yourself $1,000,000!

That's the reward on offer to the person who can prove that computers are capable of independent thought.

It's probably one of Metallica's anti-pirating techniques, they have become obsessive over that. It's not like they really need the money anyway.

Or, as Reigh mentioned above, you could have a computer with AI.

Either way, your computer is trying to tell you something;)

St Anger has a bunch of multimedia tracks and when you put it in your CD drive it starts reading them as opposed to playing the music tracks.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I figured out the problem earlier today. What I did was simple and easy, I just burnt a copy of the album on a blank CD from another computer. Now, when I want to listen to the album on my computer, I'll just use the blank.

And Reigh, you may be right about my computer. My computer has a major attitude problem. It loves to treat me like garbage... and very often, if I may add. As I always say, "computers are bastards".... :D

That would be the issue...Many of the new albums with bonus videos and website links and such become a pain in the arse when you pop it on a computer.

yes yes i am a retard for doing this, but i am willing to shed my retard story if it may help:

when i got the cd/dvd, i was in my friends Escalade and i put the DVD in the cd player and not the CD, and i was wondering for like 5 min why it wasnt playing!

MAYBE you did that same thing.... you put the DVD in and not the CD!

not to much flaming on me... we all have our "Blonde" days so to speak!
