About RE:MIX

Re:Mix combines normal CD audio with software readable by a computer's or sampler's CD-ROM drive. The software will not harm your CD player, but it may make an unpleasant sound. So, if you value your speakers, don't play Track 1! Most modern CD-ROM drives can also play audio CDs, so computer users get the best of both worlds, and don't worry about compatibility. Your CD-ROM drive - Mac, PC or Atari - will simply recognise compatible files and allow you to open only those files.
