Has anyone else done this?

[Julian Candy]

I just recently downloaded the 35 tracks album and since the majority of them don't have names I decided to give them names, hope no one frowns upon this.

This was purley for my own use, I did not put any of these titles on the web, I hate inaccurate titles as much as the next guy.

[Distant Nebulus]

holy crap!! yes!! i did this too.

I stuck with one-word names and simply listened to each song and wrote the first word that popped in my head.

this has got to be one of the worst ideas ever.

[Fredd-E]

this has got to be one of the worst ideas ever.

Especially if you share this on any p2p network... sigh. Or if you scrobble it to last.fm.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

I advice everyone to NOT do this and delete all those fake ID3 tags immediately in order not to pollute the internet anymore with yet again fake boc track titles.

[Patryk Ludamage]

OMG! Why have you done it? I saw the same thread - some people had their own title track list for 35 random tracks tape album - i can't remember where it is currently located...

I agree - worst idea ever (

I've titled only confirmed tracks by bocpages

[23degreesdream]

though they're by no means obliged to do this, I think it would be a good idea, in my opinion, for BoC or someone close to the band to provide titles for these compositions. fakes and mislabeled tracks by BoC are of no use to either the fans or indeed BoC themselves.

Though i can fully understand that since they didn't choose to release some of this work into the wider public domain they may be reluctant or simply not fussed about acknowledging them, the fact remains that the tracks are 'out there' and it would be helpful to have them properly attributed to the composers with original titles. Just a thought anyway.

As for renaming the tracks for your own amusement, why not? Just don't share or scrobble them with new titles - that would be a bad move.

definately

[zeitgeist]

what's the problem if people aren't "scobbling", "uploading" or otherwise sharing their tags? My music folders are not connected to the internet in any way.

[Mexicola]

Feel this is a slight over-reaction from some people here. Worst idea ever? That was Moby, surely.

[JosephG]

Worst idea ever? That was Moby, surely.

BAHahahahahahaha oh that's priceless. Yeah, I would say as long as folks aren't uploading or sharing the names, it really isn't a problem.

[Guido]

Great! Creativity is always a good thing .

[Stry Craty Bya]

The 'Random 35 Tracks Tape' is unable to scrobble on last.fm anyway.

[Julian Candy]

Just so everyone knows, I don't share on file sharing networks, I wouldn't want to give anyone misleading titles anyway, these were just because I didn't like looking at just track 23.

And I did leave the track number just so I could remember what track they were if I were to discuss it, no one would know what the hell I was talking about if I referred to track 7 as Karageorge.

[Fredd-E]

The 'Random 35 Tracks Tape' is unable to scrobble on last.fm anyway.

But if you rename the "track 01" to a custom name it will get scrobbled. And then Last.FM will think it belongs to "Random 35 Tracks Tape" as that's written in the album id3-field.

I still think it's the worst idea ever, but I should not have omitted the if-statement. So I'll rephrase it.

It's the worst idea ever IF and only IF you share those tracks on any p2p network and/or scrobble those tracks on services like Last.FM

The last thing we want is yet again another bunch of fake titles on the internet which will cause people to get even more confused...

[Julian Candy]

PS: I didn't torrent it, I downloaded it so I don't think it gets shared on the internet anyway.

[Distant Nebulus]

I too, do not share music or these renamed tracks or anything similar to that. its completely for my own enjoyment and imagination. so calm down everyone, and don't just assume things like that.

second that lol

[mondo swooper70]

i cant STAND inaccurate ID3 tags. i go to great, great lengths to make sure they are correct.

[zeoevil]

Your idea is bad and you should feel bad not just because of the inaccurate tags thing but primarily because you think you have the right to rename someone else's songs all willy-nilly like that.

Dude, It's not like I hacked into itunes and renamed every track on Geogaddi, the tracks didn't even come with names and I wanted an easier way to remember the tracks than just calling it track 5, that just isn't that easy for me to memorize. I know some of you may prefer it to have no labels, but you don't have to be a complete dick about it!
