Just refuses to play. Since I don't own a traditional CD player and rely on my computer to play all my music, I always found this quite distressing. I've never heard Track 0 but it occurred to me that that was what was messing up my PC.

I just put LUCY's F&B cd in the player to try it out. It is working fine. Of course- you can't access the hidden tune this way (at least I haven't figured out how to do that by using iTunes) but the computer seems to accept the cd just fine. Try dusting off your Lucy CD and give it another try. Sometimes the cd is just off the off the tray a bit or there is dust or something. I've had the problem your speaking of with a rewriteable cdr....and figured it was just a damaged or bad blank cd. It is scary when it happens though. Good luck! - -Denise C. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2003 10:27:43 -0400 From: Benay Bubar Subject: [lucy-list] the computer mystery cont'd Many thanks to those who have offered suggestions, both publicly and privately, on my Flesh and Bone computer dilemma. I got brave and tried once more just to be sure, making certain the CD was indeed loaded correctly---same results, the computer gets totally stuck and won't do anything much by normal means (at least by holding down the mouse button while restarting, as was suggested to me, I was able to avoid the sustained panic of having the CD trapped in the drive!). Yet my CD looks fine and plays fine in any other player aside from the computer. Interestingly, I have yet to hear from anybody who claims to be able to successfully play THIS particular CD on iTunes on a Mac...or even on a PC! I blame the hidden track because nothing else makes sense. Which makes me wonder...could Lucy have singlehandedly found a way to solve the entire file-sharing dilemma, at least from the music-industry perspective---that is, to have all musicians put a hidden track 0 on their CDs so computers won't play/copy them? I guess at least in the short term, unless and until I find some way to get/make a copy of Flesh and Bone without the hidden track so that my computer can (presumably) digest it, my electronic Lucy collection will remain sadly, ironically incomplete.

Well, so much for my theory---Lucy hasn't singlehandedly solved the music industry's problems after all. Perhaps I will borrow somebody else's Flesh and Bone sometime and see if that works better---maybe mine has a defect I can't see. Or maybe my computer is just weird!

You can often - but not always - eject a disk in the internal CD drive on a Mac by holding down the mouse button when the computer is started. You might also consider doing all of the updates available through the Software Update utility. > And other CDs since then have imported fine---but I'm scared to try to load > Flesh and Bone again, much as I want to.

I've imported it fine on my Power Mac G4 and just now I tried importing it on my son's 17-in Flat Panel iMac. It worked fine there, too. On both machines, however, you cannot see or import the hidden Track 0 with iTunes or the Finder.
