Hi All
Whilst I keep reading about copy write protection I thought I'd leave my own post.
After a visit to my local Sanity store (AKA V.Shop, Ourprice etc..) and purchasing the latest Massive Attack album and many other cheapies at that. I hurry home to play my new purchases on my now one week old 112/150 combo (& CD5)
After appx 10 seconds into the first song I hear a small blip in the sound. This was also the case on every single song for the rest of the album. So I play the rest of the CD's problem free and plan to change the CD for something new on Monday.
OK. Monday morning and I visit the London Wall branch of Sanity and try and explain the blip to the sales assistant. The look upon his face was blank as if to say what the hell did you just say. He then hurriedly gave me my money back. This, I think, was just a ploy to get me out as soon as he could.
With my refunded money I bought the White Stripes album. Hopefully this will play fine and dandy.
The moral to this story is look out for a small sticker on the front of the case and it will save a lot of time, hassle and ranting on this site.
Cheers
Stevie
