Playing music CD... so loud?

[vrbaba]

So I just bought one of my first music cd (original) and started playing it on my laptop (thinkpad, dvd/cdrw combo drive).

And the thing is spinning like crazy and sorta loud from all the vibrations. I was wondering if this is because of some copyright protection on the CDs?

I was just playing a DVD yesterday on it, and it was normal and fine. Spinning was normal and not as fast or loud. I have played other CDs and accessed data, and its not as bad.

whts the dillio?

EDIT:

Yes, its my first original music cd ever, not the first time I have ever heard a song on the computer.

CIA sh!t man....can't say too much....

Also, your laptop's headlight fluid is a little low..

For whatever reason its reading at probably its max read speed even though its very likely not necessary. The drive on my Dell laptop does kinda the opposite of yours where it spins slow on CDs but anything else goes into hyper mode. It is very annoying.

It shouldn't be anything to do with DRM, but you might check and see if there's something it is loading (a lot of CDs these days come with other multimedia crap on them that might autoload).

This thread is confusing. I can't tell if he bought his own CD or actually bought his first music CD ever...
Either way, I'd probably go with darkswordsman.

Yeah, it autoloads a splash screen with links to websites. I play the cd in WMP, however.

Is it also ripping the CD?

 

[Skeeedunt]

Just rip to lossless and play that. Your laptop's going to implode if you keep spinning all that crap around in there.

Change your drive settings so that it doesn't autoload (what's the shortcut for disabling autoload?), that might help. Oh, you are making sure to close the other stuff aren't you?

Thank you for letting us take a tiny part in this monumental moment of your life. This is indeed a moment you (and probably us as well) will never forget.

And you couldn't have chosen a better first CD to buy? J/K

DVDs spin at a much lower max speed than CDs. You may want to just rip the CD and then toss it in the closet.

hold down the shift key when you insert the CD

that doesn't make sense, a cd reading at 1x spins so slow it doesn't make any noise
you didnt double stack right?
