    My computer does not read this CD, yet my CD players do. Is there some sort of protection on this one to prevent it from being ripped to computers and ed to the internet? I just want to rip it to my USB so I can listen to it while driving. This is odd and very disappointing. Other Sisters albums work fine in my computer.

      The track order seems to be slightly different to the sleeve. "Walk Away" is the 9th track.
