What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Appreciate the follow up.  You were definitely writing from another plane last night.  I'm sure it made sense to you.  Just needed someone better than me to fill in the gaps.  :-)  No problem, in any case.  

Yeah..."provenance" ain't always clear (if ever) on Tidal or Spotify but have to admit I'm a bit shocked by the absence of "gapless playback" on "What Lies Beneath".  Really like the music.  Interested in buying but listening now to the version on Spotify and hearing the same flaws.  

Track starts to end with a fade out.  Before it's completed, there's a click and a moment of silence.  The next track then starts with the fade out of the previous track completing followed by the start of the new song.  Kinda amateur hour by whoever did the mastering is what I'm thinking.    

Take care.

Dude!  No offense intended but I do find your posts occasionally "cryptic".  ;-)  Am I right thinking you hear a little bit of a gap between tracks on your CD but nothing major???  What about sound quality...is that pretty distortion free throughout the recording?

Kinda in line with what I think you are saying...
the full album is posted on You Tube.  Got 21 minutes into that version and I don't hear the same breaks in sound as I do from Tidal.  Will finish listening later on.  

Hoping the CD is better than what I'm hearing on Tidal.  Maybe they got a bad rip (or however they store the music you hear).

Hey @mental
Thanks for posting about RT’s "What Lies Beneath". New one for me and I’m really liking it...even his vocal. Listening to a FLAC version on Tidal but surprised that there’s a very noticeable break between tracks that are obviously supposed to seamlessly fade into one another...no "gapless playback". In a few spots the recording has more distortion than I’m used to hearing from Tidal.

Curious if you are noticing any of this on whatever version you have.

This is probably a "buy" for me. Thanks for the tip.

Eagles, Long Road out of Eden - CD

The Title track is a must listen. Exceptionally produced on their CD.
 
Agree nutty. One of my favorites. My wife loves "What Do I Do With My Heart"

Sharing music is one of the best things - it not theee best - about A’gon.

Totally agree. I came for the equipment, I stayed for the music..........

Okay...thanks for the tip. Seemed to work just now (your tip/fix, that is). By the way, you had posted in another thread about Relish which led me to re-listen to it and mention it here. That in turn led to mental getting a copy of it. Sharing music is one of the best things - it not theee best - about A’gon.

Seems to depend on the phase of the moon whether it works for me.....
@ghosthouse - When "@" is not working for me, I close, then restart my browser, and it seems to work. Worth a try if/when "@" isn't working.......

Glad you are liking Relish.

Nope...not familiar with Paco or the CD TIWWL but I will try to find it on Tidal or Spotify...worst case, You Tube.  Thanks for the recommendation.  Glad you enjoy Ivy.

Okay...found it.  Playing on Tidal.  Interesting that there are two albums listed but one is AAC and the other FLAC.  Saved the FLAC version and that is what I'm listening to now.  
@ ghosthouse

Good call on IVY. Do you know about a CD called "This is Where We Live" by PACO? It came out in 2004 and Dominique Durand is the vocalist.
