I got the 2-CD. My local BB didn't have the DualDisc.

Man, I'm really torn on this disc. I want to buy the set at our local Futureshop for $14.99. But I don't want that software installed on my computer.
I could go through itunes but it is $19.99 for the album.

Dammit, is the disk copy protected? Crap. I was gonna pick it up, but I refuse to buy crippled merchandise. That's one thing I will not compromise on; there's no group out there whose music I want so bad to buy a substandard product. I will not purchase something that has had steps taken to intentionally limit my fair usage. The hell with that. There's enough other music, movies, and books that I want to listen to/watch/read that anything that will cut down on it is a bonus.

Chris- I hear ya, but ... article in the local paper here a few days ago that said more and more labels are going to be doing this. I don't like it either, but the solution isn't to give up the music you like. It's to find a way around their "protection".

I could be wrong, but I don't think the copy protection software can install itself on your computer if you turn autorun off on your cdrom/dvdrom drives. The copy protection program has to have something/someone launch it. If you don't launch it and your computer doesn't launch it automatically, then you shouldn't have any problems.

I was able to make a back up copy for my car last night. I found an article out on the net that has an analysis of MediaMax CD3 Copy-Prevention system and how it works. It's a good read, if you know what i mean.... |

I ordered the SE (well that's not true I got both) anyways I only opened the SE so I can get it signed by the band today. The 2 disc can stay wrapped for all I care.

Can anyone post step-by-step instructions on how to simply play and copy the tracks in Windows Media Player 9? It won't stop skipping. I did download the thing and it plays fine in that program, but I want to be able to simply play it in WMP.
Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm not a fan of this copy protection at all.  Everyone who wants to just play the CD on their computer or copy the tracks for their own use can't get it, but the people who want to copy the tracks and sell or give them away find a way around it.
EDIT: Never mind, I found out how to get them.

The DualDisc CD side is not protected.
The Disc 2 DVD side is true 24/96 MLP DVDA for both stereo and surround.

My big problem with copy protected CDs isn't so much the protection. I use a Mac which makes it trivial in the first place to do so, and none of them are hard to crack. My problem with it is that even if I do crack it, the recording company doesn't know I've done so. They just see a sale of a copy protected disc and think it's a format the general public will accept. Crackable or not, I don't want them to get the idea that this crap is acceptable, so I refuse to buy any album with copy protection on it. It's not something I want to support, or even give the impression of support, even if I hack it the moment I get home.
