Okay, it is weird I like Billy Joel, too. (Mainly just a few hits.)

Are these recently purchased discs? Some new CD's (new Sony releases or re-releases in particular) have been "watermarked" to prevent piracy, and will not play in most computer CD ROM drives.

Oh that makes sense... Make it [b]more[/b] difficult to use legally purchased audio recordings... Would somebody (envisioning "Predator" era Jesse Ventura) please go slap some sense into those hollow music industry suits? Somebody? Anybody? [:(!] Cheers, Chris |

Go there to see the list of copy protected CDs. Suggestions: 1) Clean the CD. Wipe off dust and grease you might have on there. Try playing the CD on your car audio, portable CD player, etc. If they play fine on them, you know its not the CDs. 2) Look for scratches on the CD. If the disc is warped, cracked or scratched it won't play. 3) Clean the pickup lens on your CD-Rom drive. You can buy CD, DVD, CD-ROM lens cleaner from any record store. 3) Use another software, for example, Winamp to play it. |

CDs from the 70's eh? When did you actually PURCHASE them? (not in the 70s, that's for sure)
Some newly MANUFACTURED CDs have errors intentiionally coded into them, which make it difficult for PC CDRoms (and older audio CD players) to read them, hence minimizing the chance that you may rip the songs off to MP3s. Check the CD label, and the case label, to see if anything like that (or any "copy protection", "anti-piracy protection", etc.) is mentioned. Could be you have some of these CDs. -Gloftoe |

When were the CDs purchased? CDs were brand new in the '80s. Those Billy Joel releases were not originally released on CD. In fact I first bought The Stranger and Glass Houses on vinyl. [:D] Chris |
