SR XVI: Faces glow of worms

Do they play for 8 times as long as they should, with extra silence at the end?  If so, then you can fix it with Audacity, but if not I'm not quite sure what it could do for you.  They are the right length, they move forward when the music is done, but currently this album is 7 and a half hours long. Audacity is the only way I know that seems to completely reapply the tags, I've had times where no matter how many times I change the tags in Windows/Winamp it won't actually change, and Audacity fixed it. Or maybe I was just stupid. That is a possibility.

Hmm, I've never had any tracks do that.  Odd problem.

I've had that happen to me.  I usually get the CD out and re-rip them at a better Bitrate or even with a different ripping program.

A worse problem is when I'm putting music on my memory stick to play in the car and I put them in the correct directories and deliberately place them in the order I want but because of the way MP3s work, it reads the date and time the tracks were put on the stick.

Therefore if I put albums on in a random order, I could end up hearing Western Culture before Legend.  I want to hear all Henry Cow albums in order.  The only way I've found to sort this is to physically put the albums on the stick in album order.

That must be frustrating. What happens if you move them all at the same time?

It worked!

So far it has been.

Sweet. So you are going to be talking about it for the next couple days?

All I said was  @ JJLehto's post.

k, I'll never take part in them. Sound better?

I am bored out of my mind, I wish I had something better to do.
