X&Y from Coldplay has some nasty DRM thing on it too. googling suggests it's not possible to rip it (for personal use when I don't have a CD player on me, which I would argue is fair use) without jumping through major hoops, got to be better use of one's time to obtain it from alltunes for $1.76. That CD definitely installs stuff on your hard drive as there is a text file on the CD which says it does, unfortunately one doesn't get to read the text file until after it's installed its stuff. Would never have thought a music CD would attack your system, autoplay is now off.
