Chris Sez :
Shaped CDs also will not play in cd-rom drives or many other tray-based
CD players. It's a stupid way to release a real album. Stupid fucking
gimmick. Good for free promos, but not for selling. You hear me record
manufacturers? You listening? Don't do that stupid shit.
I got a stack of demo "shaped" cds once. One was full of Irish jigs and
it was shaped like a shamrock. Another was full of Oktoberfest songs
and was shaped like a frothy beer stein. Cool for about a second, not
cool when it goes crunchy bnag grrrp in the CD-ROM drive.
