3.0 out of 5 stars
A 5-star album that loses 2 stars for copy protection, July 19, 2006
This review is from: The Jesus and Mary Chain: Stoned & Dethroned (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite albums of all time; I know it isn't the best Jesus and Mary Chain album, but it is very personal for me and I like it an awful lot. But, I am very disappointed that the CD-side cannot be read by my computer and, hence, cannot be copied on to the ipod. It saddens me to give this 3 stars. Who on earth is going to steal this? It has been gone for a decade and noone even missed the damn thing but for a few geeks like me (and most people buying it probably owned it already anyhow, like me). followup: to the reviewer who got 'automatic' to copy onto the ipod, I do not know how that worked for you. For me, the CD was physically unreadable- the hardware itself spun the disc around and around making a terrible noise once every 10 seconds or so. It is a DVD-rom drive so I don't know if that has anything to do with it (but usally the drive reads CDs perfectly well). maybe it is not copy protection but a hardware incompatibility issue; i'll look into it.

OMFG, August 15, 2006
This review is from: The Jesus and Mary Chain: Stoned & Dethroned (Audio CD)
I never write Amazon reviews. I just popped in Stoned & Dethroned DVDA from this DualDisc. WORTH EVERY PENNY I have heard this album a million times, it's never sounded this good. I was really on the fence about buying it due to the cost, how many lousy DualDiscs I have heard lately, and the fact that I already owned every JAMC CD. TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY worth the money - make sure you have a DVDA setup to listen to it on. Otherwise, probably not worth $13.99 If you don't have a DVDA setup - worth buying one just to listen to this record.

try again, July 20, 2006
This review is from: The Jesus and Mary Chain: Stoned & Dethroned (Audio CD)
In regards to the copyright protection... I recently picked up the DualDisc version of Automatic by the JAMC, and when I tried to load it into iTunes, it wouldn't extract the audio. I quit iTunes, ejected the disc and tried again. It worked. It was slow, but I was eventually able to load it into iTunes, and subsequently my iPod. Give it another couple tries.
