Bought another MP3 album on Amazon. I deeply regret it. The sad thing
is, I could have seen this coming but I was too greedy.
See, what I bought is "Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is
Lost"[1]. It's 20 tracks on the CD but it's actually one single song.
Wikipedia says it's "8 songs divided into 20 parts" but there's no
moment of silence -- those 8 songs blend smoothly into each other.
Amazon's MP3s are of poor quality. Yes, sure, it's 256 kb/s and stuff.
That's not the problem. The problem is that you can clearly hear when
one track ends and when the next track starts because the CD --
obviously -- was ripped in "track at once" mode on a poor CD drive. It
goes like this:
... melody ; click/blip/small pause ; melody ...
Grrrrrrrrrr.
