I picked up Graceland last night and went to play it. Nothing.
Then I notice a blurb on the back of the disc talking about computer requirements. I have an enhanced CD. wtf??
There is one folder on the cd that contains .mov files. So what the hell format is the audio encoding in??
!!*@!$@** studios!!

Maybe try it in your dvd player. I don't know what an enhanced cd is either.

Enhanced CDs usually just have multimedia extras on the disc, but otherwise should play just fine as normal CDs. I may have had trouble back when they were first popular, but I don't recall.

It means it's enhanced with flavor!
You have to hold it against your tongue and then spin it on your finger. Then you will hear and TASTE the songs!

Sean, start working on real products, seriously. Your idea made me think of Ratatouille, by the way.

You know, I'm starving right now. That's got to be coloring my thoughts.

Regina should be there cooking for you.
Because if she's doing that just because I want her to, then I've arrived.

I think we're still too on-topic.

Thanks, but I think your explanations are too technical. I think I posted in the wrong area.

I am using the CD/DVD player in my computer. Media Monkey does not recognize the disc. Windows Media Player plays the disc, but I get no sound.
MOV seems to be an apple type thing. A container for holding audio, video and whatever other files. Probably DRMed too. I guess I need to check discs more carefully before buying.
