Music CDs with added multimedia

[FS]

THIS SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP. >:

I guess it's meant well: some pictures on the CD, maybe a music video and lyrics, maybe a nice-looking Flash-based presentation with lots of stuff for hardcore fans to enjoy, or maybe just a retarded little music player.

But goddammit, I buy a CD for its music. Not to have the CD fail to register as music in the majority of CD players (mainly the ones with a "shuffle" function). If they want to give the paying fans a little extra, just limit it to an access code for a website inside the case. MUSIC! Just music. If I need more I'll look it up.

Oh, to not seem as if this is an egocentric rant: don't you hate this as well? :)

Well, my CD copy of The Band's The Band doesn't have that shit. :)

THANK YOU, FS.

That needed to be said.

You know what else needs to stop? Fun facts and health tips on food items. I buy food to eat, not to learn.

And they need to put gum in baseball card packs again.

They need to put toys back in cereal boxes again, not that 'Send in a postcard' or 'go online' crap/ :(

I think it is put on there to encourage people to buy the cds and not d/l or burn them. They should do what mudvayne did and put it on a dvd or cd or something. There called "Enhanced Cd's."

ENHANCED CDS IS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, DUMMY >:

every cd player I've ever used didn't have a problem with enhanced CDs :/

Any band that produces an enhanced cd is worse than Hitler.
