It Is To Laugh

[madshutterbug]

Listening to the change-ups on the iShuffle, and chuckling at the programming which sets them up... Hearing one piece, which wraps and then applause from what is obviously a live recording including an introduction to another artist, followed immediately by Santana, so not the artist just introduced. And why would just the intro be considered a whole, complete recording?

The convenience for radio cue-up makes sense to me, though I am wondering how much the changes in how music winds up getting public exposure will affect this in any way. I've not listened to the particular album through contiguously to be able to answer if it's a separate track, but I'm inclined to think... maybe.

I by no means consider myself anything close to an expert on iTunes. Still early on the learning curve. Yes, it can be jarring.

I've perhaps noticed this most with how iTunes/iShuffle deals with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, as there are also a number of transitions on that album which do not have a 'blank' between numbers. This particular instance is not DSotM, though.
