Darkthrone: WTF?

[kfoll]

I used to listen to A Blaze in the Northern Sky in my car, but that was before my CD-player got stolen a few weeks ago. So today I brought it in and just now I tried to load it into my computer CD player, but all I see there are these macromedia files ... I can watch a little movie of them interviewing Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, which is cool and all, but I can't listen to the music. Does anyone have this album, and if so, how do you listen to just the songs (on Winamp)?

just select playing the cd when open files just as you would to find an mp3 you want to hear on your comp

[kfoll]

I did that but it just makes the movie come back on.

See if you have any better luck with other programs, like Windows Media Player or something.

No go. I should mention this is a "special edition" CD whatever that means. I reckon they've put the files into some hidden partition to keep people from ripping them. But wtf, at least they could put the auto play to ask you whether you want to play the music or not. And it's not like there is probalby not 50 million ripped copies of that floating around anyway. Jeez...

I've found that, sometimes, you have to select "all files" as opposed to just "media files." Try that.

Bah this is stupid... stupid Windblows media player... they make it so difficult to figure out how to play a CD. I finally got it to load up just by right-clicking and going, play>CD>A Blaze In The Northern Sky. The files never did go into the "Now Playing" list on their own like usually happens when you pop a CD in(if WMP is your primary media player).
Strangely enough, in the "Rip" tab on WMP I get all the files, and it will let me rip them anyway!
Lemme see if I can get Winamp to do that... I like Winamp a lot better anyway.
