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. -CF

Exactly! I remember spotting a few Oasis singles with the CD in the shape of noel's head. :) Left 'em on the shelf. Aaron

They "waste data space." Maybe you're too young to remember 3" CD singles, (hehe) but it's basically the shape principle, only with the edges trimmed. Aaron
