Obviously you have never had a chance to use a CD distributed by Apple! I have
several of them which I have culled from various sources. Most (bar one or
two) have several audio tracks on them. (CD technology allows the data to be
seperated between mediums). There are mostly amaturish songs written by Apple
DTS engineers, small little humurous ditties, and sometimes some very serious
piano pieces designed "to program to". There are also some audio tracks on
them which are recorded speeches. MacUser was giving away one last year with
Gassee giving a speech on the power of the CD technology.

Of course, the music on the Apple CD's is no where as "deep" or as powerful as
the stuff the other Apple released (Apple Records)... Revolver, Srgt. Peppers
etc..
