I love listening to music whilst working on my PC. I really enjoy listening to some of Robbie Williams work and the other day decided i would add to my collection and purchase his Escapology Albumn CD from Amazon UK. I then got a mail from Amazon UK to say that it would be shipped from Germany - strange i thought Anyway i did not think anymore about it.

Anyway i got home tonight and there it was in the post. Put the CD in my D drive kicked up Winamp and Winamp spat its dummy at me > Never had that problem i thought so i just put it down to a minor hiccup so rebooted my machine. Machine rebooted and tried again and then Winamp threw another wobbly when i inserted the CD. Leo not amused by this stage > So i got another Robbie Williams CD out and it played fine on Winamp. So i tried Escapology again and Winamp refused to load. I then noticed a little label on the front which is vertually unreadable saying Copy Controlled and then this silly little media player that i had never heard of popped up and the CD started playing. Leo then starts to put 2 and 2 together and trys WMP 9 and Creative Play Centre both fail to play the CD. Leo now not a very happy bunny >

So tell me guys........My Winamp5, WMP9 and Creative Play Centre2 are all working fine on all my CD's except Escapology. Are there 2 versions of Escapology? one copy controlled and another which is not? I am particulary fond of my Winamp Player and i am going to be damned if am going to use that excuse of a media player which came with the disc.

I am a bit behind the times when it comes to Copy Controlled CD's and i would love someone to tell me what the score is before i rip into AmazonUK for not making it clear on their site what i was buying. >
