Unlike the European edition of Northern Light on Sony, the US edition on Metropolis is apparently not copy-corrupted and does not feature the Macintosh-wrecking Key2Audio rubbish. Time for a mail order.

There's a fix (http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n120166) for SuperDrive Macs, though I haven't had the bad luck to have run into one of these malformed "CDs" so haven't tested it.

(Doesn't let you play, just lets you eject the thing.)

true, however anyone who still is using macs in publishing will be on os 9 (which is unsupported by that FAQ) as that demon program called quark still does not run to an effective level under OS X. Much as i'd love all my designers to move to indesign and OS X, it's not happening soon.

Out of curiousity though, if you do happen to run across one of the affected CD's in combination with an effected mac, be warned that the other apple technote (which i'm actually too tipsy to be bothered looking up at the moment) which noted how to get effected CD's out of the drive, lies! Sometimes it works... sometimes you are supposed to return said drive to apple (or ask nice favours from tech support companies with apple warranty non voiding contracts).
