I bought a cd the other day... turns out the damn thing can't be played on my puter.
Another cd I bought can only be played (on my puter) with the special player it comes with.

I don't really have a problem with that (although it IS violating Philips' original idea of what a CD should be, and I am allowed to make one personal copy of any cd I bought, which is impossible with those two).

Now here's another problem I faced the other day: a normal cd starts at 01 01 00:00.
I have this cd though with a 'hidden' track. You probably all know hidden tracks, which are most of the time placed at the end of the cd. All you have to do is use your fast-forward-button and you can hear the song. Ripping the song is as easy as ripping a normal track.
Not with this cd: the hidden track is ermm.. hidden... BEFORE the first track, so I have to fast-REWIND for quite some time to hear the track. Doesn't bother me THAT much, but I wanted to rip the track anyways... Any suggestions?

This is the album I'm talking about btw...
