I wonder now, how some of the streaming services handle these tracks. I usually just leave them as they are (i.e. one whole file), but that is mostly out of laziness. In the rare cases where I really love that hidden track, I will use Audacity to save off the hidden track separately. But I generally still get the thrill out of listening to an album and having the silence at the end be punctuated by some added music. It was part of how I enjoyed the albums before, and I like to keep it that way (nostalgic and probably silly). I am more curious at how people deal with Track 0's. I have a couple of albums with those. It is a royal pain to rip those tracks. Perhaps it has gotten easier with better technology but about 5+ years ago, the last time I tried to rip an album with a track 0, I don't think I could ever fully succeed. I got the track, but it was through grayer methods. And, often times, listeners may not even know the track is there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104819 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
