Ladies Night

by

Atomic Kitten

Edit

I must say, I first heard Atomic Kitten less than a year ago with "You Are" and have been hooked ever since. And now, with thier newest album, "Ladies Night" I am certainly impressed. The band stayed true to themselves with more original, upbeat, and enjoyable songs like "Always Be My Baby" and "Somebody Like You". And the added remake of "Ladies Night" is in a league of it's own.

But with a sticker on the back saying "For copy protection, this CD incorporates copy protection technology. This CD may not be playable in certain devices." I would think this was for the artists protection. But I put it in the stereo in my car (an Alpine head unit, less than a year old) and it wouldn't play. Only after I put it in and took it out at least five or six times did it actually begin to play. This random, playing and not playing, continued even after it played for the first time. I think others should be aware of this. If you want to buy a CD you can listen to in any CD player, be warned. Otherwise, it's another great addition to anyones Atomic Kitten collection.

My rating is four of five stars, the fifth is for when I can listen to it where I want, when I want.

Do you like the convenience of carrying around a nice lightweight mp3 player with hundreds of your favorite songs on it? Well if so, don't buy this CD because it is copy controlled and you will not be able to rip it to mp3, wma or any other portable format. Unlike previous copy controlled CD's though, this one does come with a specially designed player that installs when you load the CD so you can listen to it on your computer. I love the kittens, but not enough to tote their CD's with me everywhere I go. Furthermore, the only CD player I have anymore is in my boat and it has an auxillary input for plugging in my mp3 player. I use the computer as my CD/DVD player in my house and at work. I really hope that the music industry doesn't think this will increase profits because my CD is on it's way back tomorrow for a refund.

Buyer beware, make sure to check to see if a CD is copy controlled before you buy.
