Default cannot play ECD format CDROMs

Just put together a new system with standard cd drive. I have
encountered ECD formatted CDs for the first time and I cannot play
them. What is up with this useless ECD crap? Is it possible to play
these CDs? How?

Well that explains the rational behind ECD but how do I play the music
on these CDs?

I guess you missed the important part...about your ROM needing to be able to read multi session disks....or it could be you stumbled
into a media that your ROM doesn't like.
