LoTR Music CD question

baratus · 03-15-2004, 11:36 AM

Ok so, I have both CD 2 and 3 of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, but I can't play it on my PC, it just appears a website screen. Why?

Some newer music CDs cannot be played on PC now because music CD publishers now attached some kind of anti-piracy software in your music CD. Heard it from newspaper a long time ago.
I don't buy the latest music CDs anymore, so I can't confirm what I said is 100% true or not for your case.

Which is odd, I have both 1 and 2 of the LotR Sound Tracks a not only did they play but I also ripped them on iTunes.

Thats pretty strange.. Maybe you're doing something wrong. Did you try opening the music program that plays cds on your computer? I know thats probably a dumb thing to ask, but I also have no problem with any of the 3 cds.

Press and hold 'C' as you insert the disc into your drive. Did it work? You can also get around this by disabling autorun for CDs. I have no idea how to do this. Of course you can go to a friend's house who has a Mac and you can pirate the hell out of the discs... which is what you want to do, right? If not, then shame on you.

I thought it was holding 'shift' on PC.

i have the "origional" first 2 cds (which reality ripped) and i dont got a problem with them at all. how good is the 3rd cd baratus, compared to the other 2? the only sugestion i can think of, is x the web site out, then click on media player or something else and bring it up.

Try both C and Shift. I don't remember which one it is.
