I’m blaming the anti-smoking zealots for the demise of the 8-track. It’s just gotten too difficult to reliably find matchbooks to wedge under the 8-track cartridge. Especially necessary on bumpy roads!

Last week I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes for the first time in a year or so. It took a half hour of searching and clicking to find what used to be right there in the top menu.

Yep. What's more, every time I have ripped any version of Beethoven's Ninth into iTunes, it splits the 4th Movement into two parts. I actually used a third party program to fuse the final movement into one piece because that half second gap was so maddening.

I've never had that problem with the 9th. However, the 5th sometimes splits at the junction of the 3rd and 4th movements. Kills the buildup to the entrance of the trombones.
