LovelyBrokenThing: Break into tracks?

[stimpee]

yes i was thinking of mp3directcut. works a treat. of course you can just burn the thing to cd and use a cue file. something like this:

PERFORMER "Underworld"
TITLE "LovelyBrokenThing"
FILE "LovelyBrokenThing.mp3" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "JAL To Tokyo"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Billy Goat"
INDEX 01 05:37:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "Peggy Sussed"
INDEX 01 11:39:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "Dub Shepherd"
INDEX 01 14:00:00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
TITLE "Lenny Penne"
INDEX 01 16:30:00
TRACK 06 AUDIO
TITLE "Monkey Wink"
INDEX 01 23:33:00
TRACK 07 AUDIO
TITLE "Witness"
INDEX 01 26:55:00

alternatively, mp3directcut can take a cue file and create and name the mp3s too...

EDIT: hah! which is what i've just done. using the Save Split... option with "%N %D - %T" and number starting at 01, it created 01 Underworld - JAL To Tokyo.mp3 etc. Unfortunately it doesnt create ID3v2 tags, only v1.1, but Winamp can copy to v2 and then I can add the same comments that were in the original mp3. Only problem is what to put in the album section now... Riverrun Project or LovelyBrokenThing?

mp3directcut is here: http://www.mpesch3.de/

Job done!

quicktime.

Hey kids, once it's on your machine as an mp3, you can copy it and try it BOTH WAYS!
See if there's a difference! Shuffle the tracks! It's like "Program your own gig" from the EE DVD!

(p.s. i vote for keeping it whole...Karl said it's like getting the UW experience over the timespan of a 12" record...it's a journey, imo)

i don't really know how it's meant to be presented...

all i know is that i've listened to it at least a dozen times through and i quite like how it is.

Aren't all UW albums like a journey? Do you not, at least once and a while, listen to one or two tracks off an album without listening to the whole thing from start to finish?

Indeed they are, and indeed i do. But "Lovely Broken Thing" isn't an album in the traditional "long player" sense. Nor are the songs all entirely clear-cut as to where they start or stop (particularly those after Peggy Sussed).

ive been FF to Lenny Penny lately. 10min commute to work. all i would hear on a daily basis would be JAL and Billy Goat.

because i use an iPod, its no big deal, but if it were burned to disc and in my car, it would be a bit bothersome having to literally hold down the FF button for a few minutes

oh, i think they are. Hence the cue file i posted above. mp3directcut did the job perfectly without re-encoding.

Difference of opinions! No prob. But anyway, here's again what Rick and Karl wrote:

"the downloads will consist of 5/6 different pieces interwoven, mixed, blended, whatever you want to call it into a single piece 25/30 minutes in length."

I'm interpreting it as a single piece. you are unweaving, unmixing, etc. i totally agree that this is possible and perhaps more convenient for listening. i just got the impression that, what with the new means of release, the inclusion of the photo gallery, the new musical theme/direction/influence/whatever, that this was to be digested like one concept.

but to each their own!
