Not quite. In some instances != doesn't produce the required result. In those instances you use <> :)

...or you clobber BASIC over the head with a large mallet.


Actually, that comes right from SQL. There are some instances where "!=" in SQL is incorrect.

Track 8?

Postby TimNikias » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:10 pm

A quick question: I've just bought the Defcon-Soundtrack from iTunes, however, Track 8 seems to just stop at 9:33. I know, that's what it says in iTunes, but it sounds CUT OFF. Some vocals are just about to go back into the theme they've been "vocalizing" during that track and BAMM it ends. Just mid-note, or however you might want to call it.

Is that intended, or a broken track? It says 9:33 in iTunes, so either the source is faulty already, or that's the way it's supposed to be. I'd like to know. :-)

Regards,
Tim

Really? I've always used != in SQL not knowing there was alternative... I should check out the difference.

Yeah, damn, I was listening to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" the other day and it did the same thing - damn you iTunes!
Which is to say, I think it's intended given it's the track length cited in the store.

Or the tracks sent to iTunes were already faulty, which is why they're chopped off and just showing up as 9:33 when they should be something like 10:20 or something... I'd just like to get an "official" statement to this, cause its kinda strange to be buying a track which ends midsentence. ;-)

Well, many tracks on many albums end abruptly at an unexpected time as a stylistic device, which was my point. It's possible that it's in error, but it doesn't seem likely to me - which is not to rule it out entirely.
