"Enhance" this! @#%&!

I think I’ve almost had it with music companies and their "enhanced" CDs.

A couple of weeks ago I Netflix’d the Music Video DVD 98 Degrees: The Collection (hey, the boys are cute). Some of the music aint that bad and some have decent beats so I thought I’d do the correct thing and buy the CD to play on my iPod.

The album arrived last night in the mail so I fired up the old computer to upload it to said iPod. Well, guess what? The damn thing hijacks the computer and runs a full-screen program that gives me the option of viewing music videos (crappy resolution), going to their web site, and who knows what else. Needless to say, I’m pissed. All I want is to put the damn music on the iPod and be done with it.

That god damned music company Motown has their little copy protection crap on it so I cannot transfer it to iPod. Talk about feeding the illegal industry. All those law abiding citizens who pay for the music but find that they cannot use it turn to (thus support) the illegal web music downloads. When will these companies learn that you cannot bite the hand that feeds you?

Guess it’s time to hit the internet and see if I can find a work-around. I’ll have that music on my iPod somehow. Grumble grumble…

This is now the second CD in my collection that is worthless. Stupid $%&*#, idiotic, good-for-nothing %*$#%&...!
