Nope, you probably have an older CD-ROM which can't read it. It's a new format (called CD plus or something) which needs a multi-session CD-rom to get at the data. The upside is that you don't get the data appearing as an audio track, but the downside is that it is incompatible with older computer hardware. Any CD-ROM fitted to a Win95 PC in the last 2 years will probably work with it, so maybe its time to pop out and spend some $$ on a newer CD-ROM (and you'll probably benefit from a speed upgrade too). I think there's a bit about it on the Sleeve notes of both "Boot the system" and "Moer Beats & Pieces". later, J ^ np: The Shamen - MK2A (from Volume 15 technology alert) Steady J aka James Skilton steady-j@geocities.com Autechre & SKAM discogs @ http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/~sk393820
