Default Grrrr...Beastie Boys album

Sitting here working on the computer and so I think to myself I will drop the B-Boys new CD into the comp and play it while I work a bit.

So I drop it in and the video pops up when its over I figure I open Winamp like normal and play files....hmmm no files Go to my computer and explore the disc for a second and realize the files are locked up and hidden....hmmmm

Soooooo how do I play it on my computer? Is there a way to unlock the folder with the sound files in it so I can listen while I work or do I have to load it in my stereo every time?

Really pisses me off that their label made them do this

take the cd out.... wait a min... put the cd back in and hold the shift key while you are putting the cd in. hold in shift for about 20 seconds after the cd is in too.

then try playing it like you tried.

Might have to reboot. They say it's just a memory residant program that exits when you take the cd out.. but some people said they had to reboot for it to go away. The program prevents you from doing what you were trying to do.

Nope neither worked.

Rebooted as well as held shift key and still no media list aside from the video. I checked their homepage and there is nothing about it at all except some stupid thing saying the US versions have no copy protect or file hiding on it

I am sorry but I prefer to support certain artists by purchasing their albums and the BBoys is a group I never second guess by DLing first.

Tried that but native CD player does not exist on my laptop I only have Winamp, WinMedia, and Real Player (yuck) and they all end up in the same thing happening.
