I bought both CD1 and CD2 at HMV.  Both work
absolutely fine on my desktop - no funny noises, no
playback problems or delays.  I've extracted the audio
data from both with no trouble.  According to Exact
Audio Copy, the internal CD-ROM drive I used is a
Samsung SC-148C.  It's just an ordinary desktop-style
one, NOT the kind where you put the disc on the
spindle manually.  I don't remember what speed I use
for extraction but it's certainly much faster than 1x;
probably 48x.

I've just given them a quick try on another computer,
with a Sony CRX140E CD-RW drive; again no problems at
all.

It's possible they're selling protected versions of
the single, but mine are quite definitely unprotected.
 BTW, if it's at all relevant, CD2 is a mixed mode CD
containing both audio tracks and multimedia PC stuff.
