Subj: [kl] Warning for Mac users trying to play certain CDs
Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 02:45:24 -0400

There are copy-protected audio discs out there that will lock a Mac up. Do
not play these in your Mac. You might have to bring the Mac to a repair
facility to get the disc out! See

These discs look like CDs but do not conform to CD standards because of copy
protection software. An example is Epic/Sony's release of Celine Dion's A
New Day Has Come. These new CDs say "Will not work on PC/Mac" but in the
case of a Mac it may eat it alive ...
