This weekend I hand-recorded a vinyl LP onto my CD recorder (the better to be able to share it with my chums). Obv the whole thing was engulfed in an authentic low crackle and on two occasions the front-end of the track was smeared by the sound of my technics deck accelerating into it. It's a really fiddly proceedure. The recording is very good if a little flawed, no matter.
Monday morning in the office i slip the CD into the iTunes at work and, to my sheer disbelief, find that the CDDB (or Gracenote or whatever the F theyre calling themselves today) had correctly identified my hamfisted recording. All tracks meticulously tagged in Portuguese! How the hell did that happen? I thought these things were roughly ID'd by the track lengths!?! Are they analysing the waveforms? Spooky!
