...especially since they were never designed to be listened in album form, but rather performed live in front of an audience. Sigh...
Which Music Player Do You Use?

wrrrr thrrr frrrrrrrrk?
Most albums are fine in any order but some are put in that order for a reason, Badly Drawn Boy should only be listened to in the right order, I can't think of any other examples...

Your point being? Don't go to concerts because the CDs of your favourite rock band were recorded in a studio?
Also, I have several Operas that have never and probably will never be performed in front of an audience as true operas.

I use itunes. It's got a nice visualizer, easy to use interface (but not to the point where there are barely any features) and has a built in store. All I wish is that you could make plugins and skins, like winamp.

think of a good album as a book. do you read a book by reading the middle, then the beginning, then reading the end? no. you fuck up the track list and you fuck up the story/concept, simple as that. i notice you said that you enjoyed black trash, the whole story is of some guy who just comes out of jail, sure you can listen to the songs in a random order but then you wont know what the fuck is going on.

The Real Tuesday Weld's excellent I, Lucifer album follows the story line of the book, which is well worth a read by the way. It certainly loses something on random.

To be fair at a music concert, they don't just randomly choose which songs they play, or which order they will do it in.Rico posted on Sep 15 2004 at 09:14 PM said:

I listened to it once in order (the first time) as I usually do with albums. It was okay, nothing special. Now I just listen to the tracks in random order. Each one is enjoyable on its own and by itself. This is ideal, because I don't have to listen to the tracks in order each time. I can just pick one and it will still be enjoyable.bringoutthegimp posted on Sep 21 2004 at 12:25 PM said:
That's what I mean, I prefer albums that don't NEED to be listened in order, because while it might work the first time, it would get annoying to have to listen to the album in order EVERY time. So albums that are designed so each song works on its own as well are the better ones - Black Trash included.

I'm just using my computer as a cd-player with all music built-in, I navigate the old-fashioned way with a remote-control
Dozer: WMP is Windows Media Player, I don't use Winamp
I actually thought nobody else felt this way today - I think the completeness of an album is best expirenced on LP, since your pretty much forced to listen to an entire side at a time.
On that subject - I'm using Winamp and I've found that albums where 1 song is supposed to dirrectly continue into another, there always is a (very) little pause... I'm wondering if anybody know of a music-player that doesn't make this tiny pause.

Thanks...
That program actually does the trick. Tou can actually notice transition, but it's nothing like the "gap" in Winamp.

. Looks about right for the specs of this pc. iTunes is excellent for the rating and crap you can do with it, but it's pretty slow on this p2 350.

One thing I just noticed about Foobar200 is that it doesn't seem to have volume control... What's that about?

Yeah, I noticed that. Doesn't worry me as I have hardware controls my desk anyway.Ringo posted on Sep 22 2004 at 02:40 PM said:

i use winamp 5.05 ... and i love the cd ripping feature with pro, real tv/radio streaming stuff, media library, some great skins etc etc etc

i use winamp 5.05 pretty because ther are soooo many plugins for it and so it will play pretty much anything and therefore makes making minidiscs easy and fast for example when i wanted the ff7 soundtrack instead of waiting a million years to download the hundreds of megs worth of mp3 etc i instead got a plugin for the psf (playstation sound format) lol
this means the files are well small like midi files and so a zip of the whole 5 1/2 hour soundtrack is only about 2 meg i think
same with snes ans nes etc it rocks
