well no second cd and also these solutions are for windows and I am on a Mac. Also I noticed some people had issues with different versions of Windows, so maybe not all OSes and versions can display those files.

That's likely your issue here then. I'm pretty sure most, if not all such bonus discs, are made for Windows PCs. Perhaps a Windows emulator might allow you to access them? If nothing else, perhaps a friend with a Windows PC and OBS might be willing to access and record it for you.

Hi! So I got a cd (an audio cd) that said insert this cd into your computer's cd-rom drive to access special features, internet connection required. However when I opened it, there were no other things except the audio. I opened it in finder on my Mac. So what's up with that? The cd in question is Sabrina Carpenter Eyes Wide Open, if you want to research specifically. I couldn't find anything about bonus features on this cd.

I had similar issues with a 2 Fast 2 Furious DVD. It flat refused to play the movie from the menu, I had to force it by selecting the first chapter from the scenes menu. I think it has something to do with the encoding. It's possible it's not compatible with ALL drives or something.

 

You might check to see if there is a second CD in the package that contains the bonus material. Such gaffes in packaging and printing are known to happen.

I don't badmouth others' input, I'd appreciate others not badmouthing mine. *** More below ***

 

MODERATE TO SEVERE AUTISTIC, COMPLICATED WITH COVID FOG

 

Due to the above, I've likely revised posts <30 min old, and do not think as you do.

@stefanmz

 

I did find this blurb about a similar issue with another bonus CD... Contains a potential solution within.

well no second cd and also these solutions are for windows and I am on a Mac. Also I noticed some people had issues with different versions of Windows, so maybe not all OSes and versions can display those files. It's honestly very complicated. Maybe they just didn't put any bonus content which would be fine I bought the cd for the songs but let me know if you find anything else.  I prefer not to mess with third party software but still if you find any solution let me know.

That's likely your issue here then. I'm pretty sure most, if not all such bonus discs, are made for Windows PCs. Perhaps a Windows emulator might allow you to access them? If nothing else, perhaps a friend with a Windows PC and OBS might be willing to access and record it for you.

yeah it worked in Windows 11 there was a 'Play Enhanced Content' option. Thanks a lot!
