LOL, Wahoo, My personal rule on not shortening the #1 song is why it was there in full. Plus that song is so badly recorded, its almost impossible to find edit points...

Its also the main reason I just said the recap instead of playing any of it. That and time issues!

bme, I like that you don't shorten songs, no matter how much I may dislike the song. I am just against shortening songs in general unless it can't be avoided.

And you are right, what do you edit out of 2525? It is so atypical of a pop/rock song--instead of the standard 2 verses (sometimes 3) a bridge and a handful of choruses, this song is all verses with no real bridge or chorus, and with the sequential nature of the verses, the song would make even less sense than it already does if you cut any of them out.

LOL, less sense, I don't know if THAT is possible!

Usually only the late 60's need things edited as the songs are longer. I usually use the original 45 versions for the different mix, the crackle of the record and the sometimes shorter version.

I have time limits for the segments, so if they run a bit over, I try to make the edits as painless as possible.
