Hello A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called ClassicJazz from Time Life. I’ve played them often on a CD player in the room I keep my PC. That has now been removed and all music is played on my pC with the surround sound it’s hooked into. I decided to load all my music onto an external hard drive and get rid of the discs. I found these jazz discs will not load into the PC player. Going to My Computer the CD drive shows as empty. The same is true of my wife’s laptop and my son’s PC and laptop but any player except one connected to a computer will play them with no problems. I’ve contacted Time Life and find the UK site no longer exists. Therefore I dealt with the US Company. The ClassicJazz series is no longer sold. I received a response to my email asking me to phone them. I replied saying I’m located in the Uk and have heard no more from them.
I seem to remember Sony brought out an anti copying method which sound like what I’m experiencing here. I seem to also remember it was said you could break this protection by rubbing a felt tip pen round the edge of the disc. I’ve tried this to no avail. I could bring back a CD player into this room and fit it into the sound system just to play this one set of discs but I’d much rather have them all on my hard drive. Has anyone any ideas to help me, please? Many thanks Roger To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
