Apparently the CDs in the "Spanish Level One" course won't play on some CD players. The "GPX" brand which is a cheapie widely sold (Long's etc.) has some kind of system to reject what it thinks are CD-Rs probably because someone convinced the manufacturer that only "stolen music" and other illegitimate stuff is found on CD-Rs and any other non-massproduced CDs. Alas, lots of legitimate publishers of language material burn their own CDs because it is cheap and easy to do. With Spanish it might not be a problem but I could imagine if one had Quiche the only choice might be burning your own CDs unless you have lotsa bucks. In addition to language publishers, there are artists, musicians , zinestes and other independent publishers who legitimately burn their own CDs who shouldn't be penalized. (I'll stop my grandstanding now.;) IF ANYONE KNOWS A RELIABLE WORKAROUND PLEASE PUBLISH IT. Thanks and Have Fun, Sends Steve P.S. Note I bcc'd a lot of people on this. I am always unsure of whehter touse cc or bcc, but since this a high volume vist and I frequently hit <reply all>;)
maybe bcc is best. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
