Playing a cd on a PC

I've just bought a cd, which plays ok in the car.
When I put it in the PC, it doesn't recognise it as an audio cd, just autoruns the "bonus" movie track, and shows this as the only track in realplayer and windows media player, and the root directory of the cd only shows the movie track as well. Is there any way to make windows xp or vista show it as an audio cd?

Is it by any chance a CD published by Sony in the early part of this decade?0

It's one of those security things to prevent copying, it is possible to get at the music, I need to go ask a buddy of mine though as I don't really do music on my PC.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

You could try VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
btw its freeVLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols.There are many things I'd like to say to you, but I don't how...0 -
It's a Polydor, Bryan Adams in fact.
Oddly, I've just put it in a laptop running Vista, and it gave me the option to open, run as a cd, or play the movie, so I ran it as a cd, windows media opened, so I have saved it to the library, and at the moment can run from the PC having copied the files to a desktop on the home network.
Still won't be recognised on any other PC though.0 -
A lot of people would consider a 'Bryan Adams blocker' to be a major advance in computer operating systems...No free lunch, and no free laptop
