The Warcraft 2 expansion CD would play music when put in a regular CD player. It would play the soundtrack, and because it was the 90s there was a hidden track.

Many games in the 90s did this. I distinctly remember ripping the soundtrack from Half-Life as there was this kickin� rad song during I think a chase sequence with a helicopter that I used for a project in school.

I actually also got to know FSOL through Wipeout soundtracks, which were also discussed here earlier. Wipeout games had such mind-blowing soundtracks.

At the time it was the only way to have good-quality audio on a home PC. CD drives could natively play CD audio tracks and stream it to the audio card so it didn't cost any CPU cycles to process. If you opened a case back then there was actually a little cable running from the CD drive to the soundcard just for that purpose. At one point I had a old 486 laptop that took about 100% CPU usage just to play one of those new-fangled "MP3" files, probably more like 105% since it couldn't quite manage to play one at native speed without skipping. Your only other option for long audio files like a song was MIDI, or uncompressed WAV files that were less CPU-intensive to play since they didn't have to be decoded in realtime but were prohibitively large.

Anyone else remember dedicated MPEG decoder cards if you wanted your computer to be able to play MPEG videos?

Hell, remember how long it too to encode an MP3? You'd be churning away for like 25 minutes with your 486SX or Performa to rip a 3-minute song

(and then it would have little skips and pops in it and you'd be like ffffuuuuuuu)

It wasn't immediately; You actually see him look at every single target the others shoot and make a judgement call on each before putting a bullet in the girl with the weird books.

Wasn't there some computing show in the UK that used to play noises over the end credits instead of music and if you recorded it you'd get some sort of small program or game?

If that worked recording it from a YouTube video can't be much worse.

This was so firmly ingrained in me that its not even a conscious thought process anymore. I was writing a new OS to a microSD card for my Raspberry Pi the other day. I clicked the the Write button in the software and suddenly got the urge to get up and walk away from the computer so I wasn't tempted to open a browser and corrupt the "Burn" process.

I grew up on raised houses that moved quite a bit when stomping around. So it was yelling out to anyone in the house to stop moving, tiptoeing away and slinking onto the couch as smoothly as possible, watch a TV show while listening out for 'OH No!'

At the risk of continuing a discussion that belongs in the PYF 90e thread (please post these things in that thread, too!): I also remember putting in a different CD into the drive while playing a game when I learned that the code is something simple lime [play: track_04] or whatever and it player another game�s music.

I had the same experience making cassette tapes from LPs in the early 90s. A cat would trot through the living room & it was skip city.
