I HATE THIS AUDIO PLAYER!!!

[bud]

I really really like this record. It is stunning.

But, I hate the media player which plays a scratchy, speaker-busting mess on my computer and won't let me just use my regular media player.

I realize it's a nice promotional item to have links to the site etc. through the record's (and record company's) media player, but it's just another intrusion by commerce into our lives which are already inundated with this sort of crap. Cut it out, please!
