I bought a Good Charlotte CD, Chronicles of Life and Death, from CD-
Wow! with that same information on it. Fortunately, I examined it
carefully first and did not even unseal it after reading the warning.
After some advice from my MacCafé group members, I contacted CD-Wow!
and was sent a Freepost address to return the CD. A little later, I
bought the same CD from iTunes as a download, which somehow seems
illogical...

It is. On examination the cover reveals a confusing little sticker
which, apparently, says the CD will play on a Audio CD home player
and on computers that are not Macs and have Windows 95 installed.
Is there any reason why I should not feel just a little persecuted?
I will not be buying any of Annie's music again (and I shall tell
her so). The CD loaded up in iTunes, I pressed the Import button
and it went into a fit. I could not stop or force quit iTunes,
eject the CD or reboot the iBook. This is not just a limitation, it
is an act of aggression which caused me a lot of hassle. I shall
inspect the small print more carefully in future and thought I
would share it, assuming RCA are still doing this to Mac owners.

As a side bar, this is probably old news but as part of the
process I tried ripping BARE by Annie Lennox which then went
horribly pear shaped. The only way I could get my iBook back was
to remove the battery. If it was not so long since it was bought
I would be tempted to use it as a Frisbee, with some vigour, at
the HMV checkout desk.
Copy protection by any chance? I've got a couple of CDs that come
with built-in players and when iTunes gets to the last proper
track it just 'sticks'. I've had to force quit iTunes and restart
the Mac before I could eject the CD.
...and they weren't XCP-protected disks from Sony, before anyone
asks ;-)
