Warner should release it on vinyl, then we are all happy!!

Oh yeah, definitely, vinyls are great. But Warner should not forget to Copy Protect them as well.  ;)

I couldn't extract the tracks under my Windows OS, but I did with my new Mandrake Linux 9.1 and Grip. Is the copy protection only for Win and Mac?

I used 'Audiograbber' free download and ripped to .wav format then converted to MP3 using Music Match free software. All FREE!!

Basically, the protection can be gotten around on ALL systems - those in the know are those who are likely to pirate copies and they will definitely find a way around it (so what's the point in doing it in the first place?).

Of course I am only using it for my own personal use (on my portable MP3 player) and not making it availiable on shared file swapping.

One thing I don't understand is why they included a player that leaves enormous gaps between the tracks, knowing that TB2003 sounds aweful that way. Surely they could have come up with a more fluid player????? Even my MP3 player joins the tracks together quite nicely (only a little 'blip' that is almost unnoticeable).

Oh well  :/
