Hidden Tracks

I've owned this disc for ten years, and now I finally get to hear these tracks. Thanks. 64.228.147.141 23:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

How in the world are you supposed to get to the tracks, exactly? Most modern CD players have trouble with it, I think. Or maybe it's just my computer.--MythicFox 09:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I never tried it on a computer (I can see software CD players having problems with this), but it worked with my portable CD player. When the first track starts playing, just hold down the rewind button. I wonder how one would rip these tracks. --SHODAN 13:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

As long as they have keys to go forward and backward within a track, hardware CD players should have no problem going back into the pregap. Press Play, press Pause immediately, go back about 9'10" (and not any further: CD players tend to reset to the start of track 1), release the Pause. Software CD players usually do not have good buttons to go forward and backward within a track, and no support for going outside of tracks. Software CD rippers should have no problem ripping the pre-gap, as long as they are in the "for geeks" category rather than in the "for dummies" category. For example, the freeware Exact Audio Copy has no problem showing the gap and ripping it. The gap is 9 minutes, 12 seconds and 25 frames long.

If anyone wants to add a citation for this I found a USA Today article mentioning it dated Apr 1, 1996

The full article is not on their site, but has been reposted in various places on the net. Nazlfrag (talk) 05:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Soul Coughing

The long-winded Soul Coughing information needs to be deleted, trimmed down, or moved to a Soul Coughing page. It is unreferenced and not important to this article. All bands have troubles with producers in the recording studio. Chris77xyz 01:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Xsoundtrack.jpg

Image:Xsoundtrack.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hah, this looks quite funny... and witty :)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "none were able to get involved in the project" - do you know why?

   "Not all CD or DVD players will allow you " - WP:YOU

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   "Songs in the Key of X" might a pun of "Songs in the Key of Life". Do you have evidence for this?

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall: One question and two nitpicks.--GoP_T^C_N 15:32, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

Thanks for having a look at this one for me. I fixed the WP:YOU issue and expanded on why the named artists could not be involved; however nothing in any of the sources mention the Stevie Wonder album at all. :( GRAPPLE X 16:04, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Passed! :)--GoP_T^C_N 10:05, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
