Or just go without music (something many of us just can't do).

Not quite what you were talking about but presumably employing similar technology.
On a side-note: all parties posting here need to ensure that they:
a) stay within Geoff's guidelines on copyright matters, and
b) remain civil.

But will a Mac rip these new discs like Foo Fighters that are clearly labeled on the front?

I have the DD; it ripped fine in a friend's G4 PowerMac, but not my PB - the drive ejects it. My first DD was the first time that happened in the 700+ CDs I've ripped into iTunes. The case does have the ". . . disc does not conform to CD specifications . . ." warning on the back in fine print.
I will never buy a non-redbook CD again. Fool me once and all that.
