My wife likes the Dixie Chicks and I was going to burn her a CD so she can have one in the car but my burner wouldn't/couldn't read it. It acted like nothing was there. I thought maybe my the burner went out but then I put in another CD I had laying there and it read it.

Any ideas?

(the last game I tried to do was Driver 2) they encoded something into the disc so that it would throw an error and crap it out every time. In my case, I managed to get it started burning, then died (went through about 10 discs before I stopped; then I tried to do THPS2, and it worked first time around) - I'm not sure about the case where it doesn't even read it.

anti-piracy CDs. Various methods include CD setups that can't be read by CD-ROM drives but can be by CD Players due to the subtle differences in implementation.

Sounds like the Dixie Chicks is one of those types.

A lot of people dislike this since like you, a copy could fall under the "fair use" clause and you're still paying the penalty for it.

Just download those MP3s and burn.

A friend of mine sent me some CD's from Greece. One of them will not even PLAY in my computer! The systems starts crawling, and I can not access my CD-rom drive, it keeps reading and reading and reading.......I put it in a CD player and it plays fine. i tried it on another computer and the same thing happened. Might just be a bad CD? The interesting part is, that the distributor is Sony.

A large majority of people have problems burning a copy of Chronic 2000, and almost no one can burn the album version of 'Still D.R.E.'

I remember back in 2000 when Ludacris' 'Ho' couldn't be burned for the longest time...

It's Chronic 2001, BTW and it isn't even Chronic 2001 its just '2001'. Also, 'Still D.R.E' isn't an album, it is a single.

Also copying it is easy. I used a copy for about a year when I couldn't find my original. Right after I bought a new copy I found my original, and now I have 2 originals an a copy. And I usually just play it from my 3500 mp3 collection on my machine at work anyway that I ripped right from the original.

One track on it (19?) sounds like crap even on the originals. It has this awful scritchy noise in it.

Anyway, you're kooky about 2001, the only thing that might make it difficult to copy is the length.

Within the last year, a whole bunch of songs were added to the "screwy burns" list, the most popular being Ho, Still D.R.E., and the Oh No remix (CNN, Jadakiss, Maze, etc.)

I never said Still D.R.E. was an album, I was talking about the ALBUM VERSION of the song -- the most instantly-recognisable part of the song where you hear the helicopters flying overhead.

As for the name of the album, Dre originally wanted to call it 'The Chronic', which is the same name as his older album, tho he thought people wouldn't care that is was infact the same name. But Deathrow Records fought it in court, and so Dre pushed for his album to be called "Chronic 2000", at which point Deathrow fought Dre on that too because they were putting out a collection of the greatest hits from 2Pac, Snoop, Dre, Kurupt, etc. etc. At that point, to my understanding he just went with Chronic 2001. Officially it's listed as just '2001', but I've almost always heard it mentioned with the 'Chronic' prefix...
