I read that article all the way through this AM, hoping that it would say something about how the protection scheme works. But it didn't. No doubt the vendor stays quiet about the specifics, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Does anyone know the details? Some Windows-specific driver that's required to read the tracks? And how does it know how many times you've ripped a song-- stashing counts in the registry some place, or in a hidden part of the hard drive? In any case, it sounds like an abomination-- a music CD that requires Windows. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
