today i got my copy of the aphex twin CD drukqs . When i put it in my Home CD player it refuses to play . I even had to manually take out the CD . So i wondered what might be wrong with this CD and changed over to my iMac dv 400. There was something strange going on . CD 2 had 2 volumes on the desktop with 15 tracks each . That was strange , but playable . The first CD has even 3 volumes .. , but is playable too. The weirdest thing is , that there´s written on the back of the CD cover NOT PLAYABLE ON COMPUTERS . Thats a sad joke . It should say ONLY PLAYABLE ON COMPUTERS ... STRANGE.. Anyone noticed the same . please contact me.. Bye... |

Maybe you have a shit cd player or maybe you're putting it in cassette player, cds don't play in cassette players nor do they fit, how did you actually fit the cd into the cassette slot, riddle me that, Batman. |

jesus . even my Technics turntable wasn´t able to play that strange CD.. It´s indeed ZOMBA´S fault . they distribute WARP in germany and they use a shitty restriction code , that´s supposed to make it impossible to play CD´s in a PC , in order to prevent CD-Burning . But macs don´t respond to that restriction . Strange thing , that this restriction also prevents CD´s from being played on regular CD players like mine . a cheap YAMAHA CD player , that plays most of my 500 plus CD´S .anyway . COOl sounds on this drukqs thing . sometimes a bit annoying straight in my face. while surfing .. probably sounds better over a HiFi set.. klm |

I already made a thread about the 'not playable on computer' thing before. The first time I put in the CD into the computer, it worked without problem. After rebooting it didn't work anymore. Was something changed in the registry? I only listen to CDs from my computer and now this... |

Now, I am listening "Taking Control" on my p.c. and it's perfect... probably you'd clean your laser lens. \/\/Æ’ |

I think it depends what country you bought Drukqs in. I have played the UK version of Drukqs on 3 different PCs without any probs. |

The first day I had the cd I copied it on my computer, and it's not a mac. (Winodws) I never listen to original cd's, only copies. They stay in good shape then.oh, and the real cd's play fine in my 6 year old sony cd player. |

Macs are the best, so maybe everyone in the universe should wake up and realize this. Its funny how Mac OS X came out a year before the Windows "XP" also known as, the Bill Gates rips of Apple Inc. agian Operating System. I hate Microfuck. It sucks my skinny bootie. I feel sorry for you poop windows users. Producing tracks on a mac is 10000000 times better then and generic pc. You are the weakest link, goodbye! |

What's the difference between a Mac and a PC, I seriously don't know! |

different hardware, different operating system. the mac has the advantage that the hardware is pretty much a standard build avoiding the incompatibilites that plague pc users. the mac os is user friendly but is often criticised by "power users" who like to fuck around with things at a low level. pcs are very cheap and the software is generally cheaper too. there are potentially millions of different hardware combinations which is a good and bad thing. the most popular os for the pc, windows, has got bigger and bigger and err slower. it attempts to copy the macs user friendliness. power users might go for a unix os. mac owners might drive a new BMW. undoubtably a quality sophisticated car but ultimately the uninformed choice. pc owners might drive a mitsubishi lancer evo. harsh ride and quirks aside, the enthusiasts choice. and then there's those with amigas... |

The real difference between Mac and PC is in the "instrucions set" that is related in how the CPU behave! CPUs performs little operations on groups of 32 or 64 bits; tha operations are like ADD, SUB, DIV, GOTO, JUMP ecc... (it's called ASSEMBLY and it's a programming language almost at the machine-level). PC are CISC (complex instruction set computer computing) that means that the set of operations at the machine level is quite big (and so they are complex operations); so each operation takes more time to be done. Mac are RISC (reduced instruction set computing ) that means that the set of instruction is very little, so these are "easy" operations which take less time than a CISC operation! The result is that having a 1GHertz Mac is like having a 2GHertz PC! (the number are just put to give you an idea, but they're not so far from reality). Now both Intel and AMD (CPUs makers for PC) are moving toward RISC. I think that by 2010 every computer will be RISC. Cheerio ArTBoY |

Macs have only recently used RISC processors... so I don't think that's the KEY difference between PCs and Macs. The emphasis with Macs is a standardised user interface throughout the os and all apllications. Windows is striving to compete with this. On a Mac it's difficult to "get under the bonnet". On a PC you ought to be maestro mecanico... |

Damn the industrie . They are so stupid . Another guy in germany bought the drukqs CD and his CD player couldn´t handle that CD too. So what kind of a copy restriction is this supposed to be . A CD you cannot play , unless you have a MAC . STUPID STUPID STUPID . Hope they stay that way . So noone will buy any more CD´S . Back to VINYL or mp3´s.. |
