>I'm currious what do you need track names for ? Oh, just a little thing called 'being able to identify the tracks easily and simply'. Nothing major. It kinda helps when you are communicating about music, don't you think? Or should all music come on vinyl disc on CD only with no packaging, no labelling, no artist or track information. Let's all be scientists and find out which music is 'best' from all these unmarked artifacts. I think the one that sounds like a marble running down the drain over and over is 'best'. I win, I win! How many times have people on this list had a problem identifing tracks on Selected Ambient Works II to each other? Wouldn't naming these tracks (however irrelevant they are to the mighty concept of Richards music) have made things a little easier? Information wants to be free. Track names serve no real purpose than to identify the track in the minds of many different people and set up common ground between experiences individuals have had (as is the point of this list - or at least, it is to me). If the name of a track influences how a person hears that track to any significant degree, then I suspect that person is either weak-minded or insane. I like track names. Track names are good! Cheers for the info, Santa/Gb (oh dear, I seem to have let a cat out of this here bag. Not). -- £ "LWTCDi" Advent Madness - A New Feature Every Day... http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/lwtcdi/all/ £ "VIRTUAL JUKEBOX" Still online.
