Did people ever play the CD-ROMs/"Enhanced" Content that came with CDs? Maybe if you were a Todd Rundgren fan. Did anyone watch the excellent Quicktime videos?

I eagerly snapped this up in 1997:

All I remember from the "enhanced content" was a brief audio interview with John Tchicai who said he wished Coltrane had played with Milford Graves at some point.

I still have this disc...I should see if it works.

Leftfield's second album contained the video for "Africa Shox" as enhanced content. It's a great video.

it should be said (maybe it has already) that todd was really sincere and involved in the interactive multimedia thing, he even wrote the software that became Paintbrush back in 81
