4.0 out of 5 stars MP3 Download Tracks Need to be Relabeled, January 13, 2009

This review is from: The Great American Ninth (MP3 Download)

As several reviewers of The Great American Ninth CD have written, this is a fine recording, with two lovely Harris works that have not been widely available: Memories of a Child's Sunday and Symphony No. 8 - San Francisco, together with a lyrical interpretation of Harris's Ninth. However, the labeling of the MP3 tracks is incorrect and, if not fixed, this will result in a rather confusing musical listening experience, particularly if you are planning to only download one or two pieces. For downloads, the correct order should be: Tracks 1-3, Memories of a Child's Sunday; Tracks 4-6, Ninth Symphony; Tracks 7-11, Symphony No. 8 (a one-movement piece in five parts.) The parts/movements are in the proper order within the revised track ranges, so you can just cut and paste the proper titles into the "info" files and move the MP3 files into the proper sequence for listening. References in the CD reviews indicate that the CD (which I do not have) has the tracks properly marked. Only the MP3 files need to be relabeled. (Hopefully, Amazon (and iTunes, which has the same mistake) will pick up on this and reorganize the tracks by the time you read this.)
