Subject: CDs from the Libraries that Mysteriously "Won't Play" on some equipment

Apparently the CDs in the "Spanish Level One" course won't play on
some CD players. The "GPX" brand which is a cheapie widely sold
(Long's etc.) has some kind of system to reject what it thinks are CD-Rs
probably because someone convinced the manufacturer that only
"stolen music" and other illegitimate stuff is found on CD-Rs and any
other non-massproduced CDs.

Alas, lots of legitimate publishers of language material burn their own
CDs because it is cheap and easy to do. With Spanish it might not be
a problem but I could imagine if one had Quiche the only choice might
be burning your own CDs unless you have lotsa bucks.

In addition to language publishers, there are artists, musicians , zinestes
and other independent publishers who legitimately burn their own CDs
who shouldn't  be penalized. (I'll stop my grandstanding now.;) IF ANYONE
KNOWS A RELIABLE WORKAROUND PLEASE PUBLISH IT.

Thanks and Have Fun,
Sends Steve

P.S. Note I bcc'd a lot of people on this. I am always unsure of whehter to
use cc or bcc, but since this a high volume vist and I frequently hit
