Comments on: Death to “Hidden Tracks” http://www.mcelhearn.com/2006/05/28/death-to-hidden-tracks/ Writings about more than just Macs, by Kirk McElhearn Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:24:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: genericwoods http://www.mcelhearn.com/2006/05/28/death-to-hidden-tracks/#comment-271 genericwoods Sat, 26 Mar 2005 19:19:53 +0000 http://www.mcelhearn.com/wordpress/?p=124#comment-271 I agree completely. In almost a protest of this sort of idea, The Queens Of The Stone Age have an album "Songs For The Deaf" and the last track on the album (its own actual track) is called the "hidden track". My solution for these hidden tracks is to use iTunes' start-time/stop-time feature, copy the song so it appears twice on my harddrive, import it twice, and crop it to the two locations of the regular track and the hidden track. This is tedious and also screws up my playlists when I have it limited by time length (iTunes needs to take into account your start and stop times when calculating the time length of a playlist). --- Take Back The Web Get Firefox! http://mozilla.org/products/firefox I agree completely.
