MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 yep i do it all the time.. if i absolutely hate the song i will delete it completely off my computer. if i just dont like it and find myself skipping it every time it comes on, or find that it lessens the experience of the album for me i will just exclude it from all the playlists i make and keep it in the main library. yea my SAW II playlist consists of like 8 or 9 songs, from both cds.

Zephyr_Nova Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I can't think of one example of an album I like that has a track I simply can't listen to on it. The "imperfections"(?) are often what makes an album great. But there are a few albums I've listened to where one of the early tracks was so horrendous that I stopped listening and never went back to it.

Cryptowen Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I leave the bad tracks in to space out the good tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholdapalehorse Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 If there was an album with one track i liked on it... I'd sooner delete the whole album than filter out the really shite tracks. I'm not a "one-track" lover. I listen to albums. This is how I roll. The whole album or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyern Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Occasionally the tracks you hate at 1st turn out to be the best tracks on albums. That happens to me a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 i did this once a long time ago and totally regretted it, i just had fragments and bit and pieces of songs on my harddrive and i couldn't just listen to an album cause nothing was whole. it's not like i listen to TOP40...

Guest Enter a new display name Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The way he arranged SAW II was awful (probably wasn't him) If something is wrong in an Aphex Twin release, it is by no mean Richard's fault. Yeah, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Just a bit bi-polar for my liking , with the original arrangement i had to skip tracks because i was "not in the mood for them" , SAWII is an album you have to be in certain moods to listen to , so instead of having to skip tracks all the time , i arrange it according to mood.

modey Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 deleting tracks from albums is one of the first signs you're becoming part of the mp3 generation imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40days Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think this is irrational. a) hard disk space today is virtually endless as you can always get more for very little money. b) if the album has enough good material, I will spin it from beginning until the end. It has proven to have potential and such albums usually tend to "round up" for me and every song will eventually reveal its good sides, given that the material is strong enough to make me listen to it several times. This is even if I find some tracks to be complete shit at first. c) For the sake of completeness, even if there's just one alright/good song in the bunch. There's always a slight chance that you one day pick another track from the album and it just clicks with you. This has happened often to me. Taking distance to some music is sometimes a good thing.

Boxing Day Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 deleting tracks from albums is one of the first signs you're becoming part of the mp3 generation imo I use flac , but i do like the option to delete tracks i don't like (if i don't like it i don't like it , what do you want me to do) , i usually pay for my music (full albums) , the artists already got compensated , so who cares. I don't delete/rearrange tracks that much , just a few times , most of the stuff in my library are full releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dilbthelame Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I upload everything onto my pc, i have to have at least the option of listening to everything, even the tracks i don't like i've never messed around with an albums structure or merged albums or stuff like that..... if it comes to it i'll make a playlist or use the skip button. though...the music i put on my phone i usually choose quite rigourously, will select whole albums *minus tracks i don't like* etc. also, skits on rap albums are a perfect example. also hidden tracks/ silence tracks. irritating.

dr lopez Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I do this a lot Few examples: Analoggins from Analord 06 , Clayhill Dub from CW , that supernova song from The Orb's Adventures , Obsessed from Electro-soma , i deleted Numbers and Pocket calculator from Computer world and added The Telephone Call (because Electric cafe is awful and i can't have a one song album.) I have also deleted and merged a few of Early Squarepusher albums. Oh and this is how my Autechre looks like -- deleted and merged. you just made some serious enemies, bro. also: how the FUCK can you have an opinion about kraftwerk or their box sets if you just fucking delete the best tracks from the best albums. wtf.

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 deleting tracks from albums is one of the first signs you're becoming part of the mp3 generation imo maybe, but i'm sure there were plenty of people back in the 70's who would occasionally think, "man, i really wish that song wasn't on there". i think being a completionist with things you don't even enjoy makes little sense. if anything it's inefficient. but what the hell do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The most retarded thing i have done is trying to explain myself to you guys , i can do whatever the fuck i want with my library. P.S - Those remasters are awful , those early 90's Capitol remasters was just bad , it sounded like they were playing inside a blender inside a toilet.

sidewinder Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Rule of thumb: No. If anything I just uncheck a song so that it doesn't play. Like some ear-piercing senseless noise track or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remy marathe Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 i did this once, with a lot of my digital music library, and regretted it. recently i've taken to burning full albums to cd if i've only got them digitally, then deleting the mp3s or flacs or whatever. i find that listening to a cd requires me to listen to the entire album, and it's brought back memories of a way i used to enjoy music that i'd forgotten existed. i'm thinking about just getting rid of my ipod/itunes completely, because it's pretty much ruined my ability to listen to a full album.
