Thank goodness for audacity

Thank goodness for audacity.

I downloaded a really cool moonbabies (dumb name, cool sound) album over the weekend, and almost every track on it has 20-30 seconds of dead air at the end of it. Very annoying. I find I can’t listen to the album unless I have a finger on the fast forward button.

Enter audacity (and about 15 minutes of my time), and the album plays like it should … or at least like I think it should.

And what counts is what I think, right?

    Oh yeah Moonbabies are great, but don’t you think supporting bands like the Moonbabies through downloading the album through Itunes would have been the best in this case, since you like the album? I know that artists like this don’t earn practically anything, and spend so much time and money making great music. I download music, but I tr to buy things i really like, especially non-major label stuff.

    I didn’t say I stole it; I said I downloaded it – from emusic.com.

    They’re really the source for legal downloads of indie groups.

    :-)

    I don’t know why the songs are a bit off, but it was easier to fix them myself than to try to complain to the Powers That Be.
