No Problems..........2007-02-02

I had absolutely no problem playing this on my Mac, nor uploading this or other Kinkysweet comps. onto my iPod. Yet another reason Macs are better. Oh, yeah. the music's pretty good too!

Nice music, shame about the piracy protection.......2006-03-25

It may be true that the music is outdated and unoriginal but for those who are uninitiated into the nu-bossa scene like myself then the CDs provide some pleasant enough tunes.

But the real bummer comes from the piracy protection. Impossible to play the CD on your PC without installing MediaMax's programme, and even then you can only listen when the CD is in the machine... so no copying to your computer, transfering to iPod or the likes. Surely with the rise of MP3, MediaMax will have to change this ridiculous anti-piracy protection else all their CDs will be relegated to dusty shelves and never heard.

Good, not great.......2005-11-23

Bought it expecting it to be as good as FS: Buenos Aires
Some good songs, not so great mixing

...AND if you want tu load it to your PC, just try different programs or a different computer. Had the same problem, and all I did was use another computer. Just have some patience!

Frequest Flyer ?.......2005-06-22

I believe the people that think this album is rubbish; need to book a flight to Rio for Carnival 06. This album does what it intendeds to do, bring you to the city that it bears the name of. I think that this may be some of the best music compiled on any album

fantastic album.......2005-06-16

Well I read the review from Bordersj2 and felt I had to respond. I don't think Bordersj2 really understands what this CD is all about - I've got it (had it about 6 months now) and I play it all the time. This is the perfect cd to have around when you've got friends over. I looked at bordersj2's other reviews and it looks like he/she is a brazilian dj of some sort and obviously bitter about not being able to do the cd themselves. What the review doesn't talk about is that a good song is a good song. Just becasue a song is a couple of years old doesn't make it a bad song - can you imagine if we held this standard up to The Beatles, Rolling Stones or Led Zepelin ? This Cd is great because it creates the mood I'm looking for, i don't care if the songs are 35 years old (I'm 35 years old - am i past my expiration date too ?)
