Computer issues when playing Backspacer
I just bought it this morning (yeah, I know I'm late) and tried to play it on my computer at work. I couldn't. Brought it to my systems department and although they could get it to play, the sound was terrible so they said that it was defective and to take it back. I did and although when I first put the disc in, it said the same thing as it said this morning and that was "media player cannot support this file" or some such thing. Anyway, after some fiddling, it suddenly started but for whatever reason, the track listing says I'm listening to Avacodo. As I type this, I am listening to The Fixer but according to Windows Media Player, I'm listening to Comatose!!! How bizarre - anyone else with this sort of issue?

When I play the Fixer my computer says I am listening to crap.
Sounds like you need a new computer

That is a distinct possibility.
Thanks Sea - I haven't read it completely yet but hopefully it will solve the issue. It's just bizarre that it's telling me I'm listening to a different album.
I don't agree with the sentiment. . . but that is damn funny!
I got mine at HMV too and when I brough it back, they told me I was the second person to bring it back. The other person had a completely different CD in theirs.
I had no problems with iTunes, though I did experience the "Avocado Phenomenon" with Media Player.
That's exactly the way it sounded when I brought it to my systems department - bumpy as if skipping.
Thanks, Trixie. I ended up going onto iTunes and re-purchasing it there. I'm still waiting for everything to download onto one of the boys' iPods, but I trust/hope this will sound better.
For what it is worth, the CD sounds great on the stereo at home and in the car.
I like to acknowledge comedy when I see it. Bravo.
