The Beatles.wma

I'm not too sure how this works, so bear with me here.

I'll admit I've got more versions of Beatle songs than a person needs. I had all the eighties CDs but bought the Capitol sets for the sonic improvements. There was a lot of echo added (or was it reverb? One or the other, maybe both). And there was that cool false start on the stereo "I'm Looking Through You".

I ordered the Mono box set when I heard Amazon had sold out of them. I couldn't bear the thought of not being able to get one later if I decided I had to have it.

On 9/9/9, I was going to buy the stereo albums not included in the mono set at my local music store. In the next few days I ended up going back until I had them all. Hey. the stereo versions are what I wanted to begin with.

So I loaded the stereo versions on my PC so I could listen to them on my zune. And when I get my mono versions, I can click back and forths to hear the differences. I'm not going to miss out, I'm plugging the discs into my car player to hear the full quality.

So, when the mono set arrived, I started copying them to my PC.

They are copying down like normal. But when I switched to Library, a few of the discs loaded as "The Beatles Mono Box Set". Of the discs that did not use the box title, only the first track seemed to be there. Looking at the download date, only the first song downloaded.

But...., listening to the tracks, they sound mono. The mono tracks appear to have over-written the stereo tracks but did not change the date.

As I started this page, I'm not sure how this works. Some kind of space/time continuem thing, no doubt.
