I have to echo wade's annoyance at track proliferation. Since I get a 
lot of stuff from emusic. I don't mind if they break something that's 
longer than ten minutes into a couple of tracks, because then I can get 
a piece that would otherwise be "album only" ("If you want this one 
track, you have to buy the whole album for it!"), but it's getting to be 
a joke. I was counting how many tracks they split the first Rachmaninoff 
piano sonata into and lost count. It was three or four per movement.

It brings to mind a cheesy 60s TV ad campaign (US) for "Joey Chips, the 
corny potato chips" where the potato chip stood in front of a presumed 
audience and told jokes. My favorite one was: "My hotel's nice enough, 
but they're so hungry for tips — I called Room Service for a deck of 
cards, and the bellboy made 52 trips!"
