Yup. and copy protected audio "non cds" such as the more recent album releases are actually an attempt to prevent you using your fair use rights, which are of course legal, without performing an illegal circumvention of the protection under the terms of the DMCA.
Actually, non-standard CDs sold with the CD logo are fraudulent, since they violate a published standard which the logo implies. I'm surprised this avenue hasn't been taken legally. The non-CD publishers are of course free to sell what they wish, but they can't claim standards-compliance, which they do.
