Longtime TR fans have developed a set of shortcut acronyms for use when discussing TR and his work. For the new fans, and maybe some of the old, here's a handy guide:

What about all these versions of "The Individualist?"

For those of you confused by the various formats in which The Individualist has been released, here's my short summary.
CD
A traditional CD on Pony Canyon records, non-interactive, but includes lyrics and a photo insert. It was released there first in this format presumably because that's where TR was contractually obligated to do so. There is no US CD only version.
CD-e (Enhanced CD)
CD-e includes all 10 audio tracks, which can be played on a conventional CD players, as well as non-audio data that can be executed on Macintosh and MS Windows platforms. It includes graphics to accompany the songs, interactive access to the lyrics, and some video for a live version of "Facist Christ."

cassette
The cassette version was released because there was no US CD product to sell, so all songs were released in a linear, non-interactive version. No lyrics or themed sleeve included.

CD-I (No World Order, but not the Individualist)
CD-I is the format used by Philips for their interactive CD player. The NWO version allowed one to choose mood, speed, and other paramenters to select the mix of the audio experience.

There's also the CD-ROM versions for Mac and PC that is different from the CD-i version. The NWO release on CD-ROM is basically the same as the CD-I release. The CD-I and CD-ROM versions are not playable on a conventional CD player.
