P-Naughty

I recently (today) just recieved Mudvayne's new CD Lost & Found from Amazon. Now on the site, they said it was a "dual-disc" which I believed to mean 2 CDs or a CD and a DVD just like they've always been called. But no, this is a CD AND DVD in one disc on different sides.

So I did the first thing I do with any CD I buy and recieve in the mail: I began to rip it to listen to it on my PC. Why? Because my PC has 5.1 speakers, my TV doesn't, and I don't spend that much time in my truck. Apparently these things are designed to not be read by regular old CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives for reasons beyond my comprehension. It would spin it and spin it and try to read it, but to no avail.

I've tried everything. I tried using EAC and dMC's extraction tools. I tried to make a 1-to-1 copy of the CD side to another CD or DVD, didn't work. I tried making an image with Alcohol 120%, and even that failed. It's not that these programs can't function properly, it's just that the computer doesn't recognise that it's even there.

It's so lovely of Amazon to not put a warning up about this not being a dual disc set, but a two sided farked up disc. If I can't figure out how to rip or copy it, I'll just send it back. I ordered an Apocalyptic CD at the same time and they sent me the wrong one, but I don't care 'cuz I wanna get all of them anyway. So yeah, if you have any clue as to what I can do here, please respond. If not, I'll just send them back to Amazon and get what the hell I wanted: the right Apocalyptica CD and a Mudvayne CD that I have some chance of ripping to MP3 and Monkey's Audio to both backup and listen to while at my PC.
