Greetings: Another solution to this problem might be found with the Crossover Plugin. It supports Windows Media Player, so perhaps you can invoke WMP via the Crossover Plugin to play your legally corrupted CDs. What's the legal situation regarding the return policy ? If I inadvertently purchase such a disc, can I return it for a full refund ?
