I recently received a CD copy of Mary Bergin’s Feadoga Stain 2. After eagerly waiting 2 weeks to get it via snail mail I was shocked when I played the CD of how bad the recording was, There are alot of poping sounds right through the recording as if it had beed copyed from a vinal. Did I recieve a bad copy or, is this just the way all the recordings turned out?
Mine sounds great, without any of the noise you are describing. Barring any problems with your CD player, it sounds like you got a defective disc. Terrific CD,definitely worth the effort and extra wait to get a good copy.
Sounds like you got a bad copy to me too. Musically, I think 1 is the stronger album but that’s another matter entirely. 2’s fine, it’s just that 1 was better than fine IMO.
My copy of Feadoga Stain 2 has no such problems. I think you have a bona fide bad CD and should return it to the vendor for replacement.

Are you playing it on your computer or in a normal cd player? If its in your computer, I would suspect a software problem.
-Just a thought.
Not necessarily. Some music publishers are now putting “dirty” sectors on CDs that get ignored by regular cd players, but show up as pops and the like on computer CD’s. They call this “copy protection”…keeps folks from putting cds on their computer, and possibly sharing them. I call it “bull hockey”, and won’t buy a CD that I know has copy protection on it. Every CD I own is boxed away in the closet, and I listen to the MP3 files I’ve made, on my computer. I don’t even own a CD player.
Even with that “copy protection” you can still copy them by playing it in a regular cd player and running it through your sound card. It takes longer to copy, since you’re copying it in “real time” but it can still be done.
