Switchfoot – Nothing Is Sound (DualDisc, Target exclusive): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 21:24 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added a new product page for the US Target-exclusive DualDisc of Switchfoot – Nothing Is Sound (barcode 827969643822, Columbia CN 96427), a barcode the wanted list surfaced because family/nothing-is-sound named it with no page to link to. Identity, tracklist and durations are from MusicBrainz release 826c658b (the exact-barcode match); the DualDisc structure, catalogue number and Target exclusivity from Discogs release 16768719; the Target-exclusive thirteenth CD track "Good Night Punk" and the note that the DualDisc carries no copy-protection software from the Jesus Freak Hideout DualDisc review; and the album chart peak (#3 Billboard 200), RIAA gold certification and Sony BMG copy-protection controversy from Wikipedia. brand/columbia-records, company/sony-music-entertainment, family/nothing-is-sound and category/10003718 already exist, so no stubs are created. gs1_prefix_owner is derived (Sony Music, prefix 0827969) as no source names the registrant. Amazon.com was searched (name, artist and barcode) with no listing confirmable as this pressing, recorded as a markets research gap. musicbrainz_images requests the approved Cover Art Archive front cover for this barcode.. Current is v2.

| 114 | 120 | Nothing Is Sound is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band Switchfoot, released on 13 September 2005 by Columbia Records; it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA the following month.[^wiki-album] This barcode is the US Target-exclusive DualDisc edition, catalogue number CN 96427: a single hybrid disc whose CD side carries thirteen tracks and whose DVD side holds all twelve songs in 5.1 surround sound and stereo, plus the documentary "The Making of Nothing Is Sound".[^discogs-target] Target's DualDisc added a thirteenth CD track, the acoustic "Good Night Punk", and, unlike the standard CD, this DualDisc carried no copy-protection software.[^jfh][^wiki-album] | |
| 115 | 121 | ||
| 116 | 122 | The album was at the centre of the 2005 Sony BMG copy-protection controversy: standard pressings shipped with Extended Copy Protection (XCP) or Cactus Data Shield, which installed rootkit-style software on Windows computers, while the DualDisc editions were released simultaneously without it.[^wiki-album] It appears on Columbia, a Sony Music Entertainment imprint, and both MusicBrainz and Discogs record this barcode as the 2005 US Target-exclusive DualDisc.[^mb][^discogs-target] The pressing is long out of print and now circulates on the collector market.[^discogs-target] | |

## About <!--about-->
Nothing Is Sound is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band Switchfoot, released on 13 September 2005 by Columbia Records; it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA the following month.[^wiki-album] This barcode is the US Target-exclusive DualDisc edition, catalogue number CN 96427: a single hybrid disc whose CD side carries thirteen tracks and whose DVD side holds all twelve songs in 5.1 surround sound and stereo, plus the documentary "The Making of Nothing Is Sound".[^discogs-target] Target's DualDisc added a thirteenth CD track, the acoustic "Good Night Punk", and, unlike the standard CD, this DualDisc carried no copy-protection software.[^jfh][^wiki-album]
The album was at the centre of the 2005 Sony BMG copy-protection controversy: standard pressings shipped with Extended Copy Protection (XCP) or Cactus Data Shield, which installed rootkit-style software on Windows computers, while the DualDisc editions were released simultaneously without it.[^wiki-album] It appears on Columbia, a Sony Music Entertainment imprint, and both MusicBrainz and Discogs record this barcode as the 2005 US Target-exclusive DualDisc.[^mb][^discogs-target] The pressing is long out of print and now circulates on the collector market.[^discogs-target]
