The disc played
normally on my ageing Philips CD audio deck, which ignored
the data in track one. The disc is easy to setup and use on a
Macintosh: just pop it into your CD-ROM drive, click on the
disc icon and you're in. If you haven't got QuickTime 2.0, you
just drag the folder to your Extensions folder and re-boot. As
usual, Windows 3.1 users go via the File Manager to start
things moving. Navigating around the disc simply involves
clicking on various on-screen pictures and icons. There are
also "easter eggs" you can click on to reveal surprises, and a
help icon if you're not sure what to do.
There is plenty of extra
material on the disc, including a multimedia presentation of
her trip to Cambodia and Thailand with the charity World
Vision.

The Freedom Sessions clicks, in the value for money stakes

One of the best sections is the CD screen where you
can click on an album cover and see track listings. Click on a
song title and you can hear it and on some tracks, even see a
video clip. The touring guide shows a map of the places the
band visited on their US and Canadian tour and gives Sarah's
feelings about the different places. You also get to meet the
band, watch QuickTime video clips of songs and go to a
merchandising section, where you can order CDs, posters and
other goodies.
