I just received a cd with all the artwork in excellent condition (Tristan Prettyman's "Twentythree" from Virgin Records 2005), but it isn't recognized by my computer short of running an executable off of the cd which I assume will install a rootkit on my machine.  It's a DRM issue where on the back artwork it displays the FBI anti-piracy warning circa mid 2000s and showing that 3 backup copies can be made.  I can not play the cd through Windows Media Player, the Zune software, or my Creative player.  Does anyone know how to legally play or rip the cd without having to run the PlayCDS.exe from the cd?

Excellent advice about listing the cd or any others like it in the future without the stickered artwork, as that is what I will certainly do. 

Many thanks!

I just received my requested cd and all the artwork, but the cd and the front insert have labels stuck on them indicating that they came from a public library.  The sticker shows that it came from a specific city library and then another one indicating the music genre, the artist, and the cd title.  For all I know the library sold it, but it seems odd.  I know we can trade promotional cds, but can we trade library cds?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm coming in from la-la as well, and really appreciate all the good info presented in this thread.

Many thanks in getting me pointed in the right direction.
