My new Boss CD uses special technology called DUALDISC (pdf file). I can't play it on my computer. I haven't tried it in my DVD player or my other stereo CD system. I am QUITE annoyed!!!!!!

This new technology allows a DVD to be burned on one side, and CD on the other. However, it seems that not all computers/cd/dvd players can play the discs. It is also supposed to help crack down on the piracy of songs.

I like to listen to music while I'm surfing the internet, and since I can't play the Boss, it's irritating. I do have an older computer, but still... I paid good money for the CD and it's unplayable. I will have to try it in the DVD player and see if that works. If it doesn't work in any of the players I own, I'll be writing Sony a letter.

P.S. I found a cool Boss news site while I was surfing. Check it out, especially the links page if you're a fan.
