Since I just came across my first problem CD and I haven't seen any mention
of them here for a while, I wondered if people are still finding them
troublesome. To be honest until I got this disc I thought the complaints
were, well, a bit exaggerated. I've changed my mind.

The disc is Mariza, Fado Curvo, on EMI Valentim De Carvalho". Lo and behold
I found it listed on http://ukcdr.org/issues/cd/bad/ - I should have looked
first shouldn't I?

The effect on my AVI CD player is odd, there is a nasty sounding glitch a
few seconds into the start of every track, then the rest of the track plays
fine.

It plays OK on my PC (using the player bundled on the CD - yuk) and what's
more I can rip the tracks using Roxio - so I could produce a perfectly
usable Red Book CD if I felt so inclined! What a stunningly successful Copy
Protection scheme that is!!
