League Of Pop: THE FINAL

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OK, here's how this works:

1. Download this 25 Mb zipfile: http://www.sendspace.com/file/h96dqj

2. Listen to the tracks. Decide which you think are the two best ones.

3. Tomorrow I will post a poll and you can vote in it.

4. You can comment here or on the poll.

5. PLAYERS: Please do not reveal which track is yours!

Question: is 25Mb too much for a single download? I need to know for the Pop Open - if necessary I can cap the bitrates at 192 and keep the totals down that way.

Pop Open: 17 out of 41 tracks in - no single group filled as yet! Keep them coming!

Track three

I've been hunting for this for AAAAAGES, but could never find it. I only have it on tape and really wanted it on my iPod so thank you whoever it was who submitted. It really is an ace track, so good to hear it again. Tracks 1 & 2 are brilliant too, will be a tough choice on who to vote for.

Oh - and Track Three also has the artwork, so anyone with iTunes who doesn't want to know what this is should turn the artwork viewer off before adding it to your library

Is there a way of deleting the artwork in Windows Media Player (which is what I use)

I can delete the artwork in iTunes and then send it back to you so you can update the zipfile? No idea about WMP which I don't use

Well, given the fact that they say who they are five or six times during the track, this shouldn't really make any difference.

The artwork appears to come with the "media info" which, once 'found' doesn't seem to be 'unfindable' on Windows, only 'updateable'. Since Windows Media Player appears to be geared towards ripping from CD/DVDs, the only sure way to stop the media info from being encoded is to set the privacy settings prior to ripping to "don't search for media info".

I just tried editing all the "album info" on track 3 and replacing it with fake info, with some success, but it's a lot of faff and I'm not 100% sure I got rid of the artwork.
