**If this is in the wrong forum, please move this to the correct forum.
I just bought Ayreon's The Human Equation, and there is a problem with the CD. For some reason, it splits the beginning of "day twelve: Trauma",(the start of the second CD) into 7 different tracks, with the first 6 being about 7 seconds. With the 7th track being the rest of the song. I was just wondering if there is a way to fix this, and what I should do. I bought it from CD universe, should I try to exchange it?
Then again, it's not that big of a deal, just kind of annoying.
Thanks

That -is- a problem... isn't it supposed to be 11 sections, to represent the previous 11 days, so that the day/track things would be in the right order?

Actually, the first bit of Day Twelve is split into 11 different tracks because Arjen wanted Day 12 to be Track 12. It works conceptually, but like most people, I combined the tracks into one full file so there aren't any pesky 3-4 second tracks from tracks 1-11 on Disc 2.
It's easy to do if you have a wav-file editor program like FlexiMusic or similar programs. Just rip the tracks as wavs and copy and mix them one after another. Good luck!

Anyway, thanks for both replies!

When I ripped the CD I simply deleted the short bits.
