Underdogs On My Ipod

Recommended Posts

It could be an issue with your iPod. When I ripped my copy of History Teacher onto my computer and played it through my iPod I had issues where songs would just stop. I reformatted the iPod and restored the factory settings and everything worked perfect!

 

Another suggestion is to delete the music off you iTunes and iPod, sync you iPod without the Underdogs album and then re-rip your Underdogs and sync it up again. Maybe your audio files were corrupted while transferring. The reason I said to sync it minus the Underdogs was so when you synced it again with the album ripped it would put the new files on your iPod instead of just skipping over them.

 

It's a bit of a long shot, but let me know if either of these ideas work! You may want to try my second idea before spending half an hour reformatting and putting everything back on though!

iTunes would resync the new copies anyway. It uses the time stamp to determine if the track is 'newer' on the computer.

 

I guess it really needs be be determined if the files themselves are corrupted. Do they play in iTunes, do they play in QuickTime, do they play on a different computer.

For some reason I always rank Underdogs very low when I rank all Matt's albums, but I think this is in part because I've always owned the silly U.S. release of Beautiful Midnight and for the longest time I associated Apparitions, Deep Six, and Everything is Automatic with that album instead of Underdogs, which is obviously wrong but that's just how it was for years. I still don't own the canadian release of BM but in all my playlists I have the correct tracklisting with Going All the Way, Let's Get it On, and I Miss New Wave.

 

Anyway yeah, that's partly why I always seem to forget Underdogs. I didn't associate those songs with that album for a long time.

 

In hind sight, ranking them is pointless anyway ;)

And I thought I was the only one! The U.S. version of Beautiful Midnight was the first Matt Good album I ever got, and I've never quite been able to shake my association of Apparitions, Deep Six, and EIA with BM. I tend to feel like my copy of Underdogs had extra songs put on it, instead of it being the other way around. And when trying to form an opinion on Underdogs, I have to forcibly remind myself that those three songs are actually a part of the album.

 

Damn youuuu, U.S. Beautiful Midnight, for messing with the MG album experience! Although I am thankful at least one MG album is available in stores here (even if the track listing is wrong :/).

Change of Season (Underdogs) and Let's Get It On (BM) are two of my very faves; C o S is a peach of a track, IMHO.

Hello Gomo! ::waves:: Yay for New York MG fans! And I will third Change of Season being a lovely track. ;)

 

(Also, sorry about posting the same thing twice! I hadn't noticed that earlier. The page wasn't loading when I posted and I refreshed and it must have ... posted again. I take it I can't delete it, though. :angry: )

Okay, having gone through the archives very briefly, I don't think this has been asked before.

 

Does anyone know who Duffy is? I'm taking this from the last line of Invasion 1. I recall that in one of his manifestos, his old man addressed him as Duffy. The reason I ask is that it's my sirname, so it's always intrigued me.

 

Duffy was Matt's nickname as a kid, I believe.

Why thank you. We shall call you Necro, for you ability to raise threads from the dead.

 

The best way to fix that problem is to go and find the correct artwork and drag and drop. The reason it happens is that certain tracks of Underdogs where published in the American version of BM, likely the server which iTunes searches for album art got confused.

I figured that was the case. I remember when the US version of B, came out and being so pissed they fucked with the flow of the album. When I recommend the album to people here I have to stress to them to pick up the Canadian version.

 

What's even stranger is that US iTunes carries all the albums now YET they still have the American fucked up version instead of the right version of BM.

 

Ugh. Rant over. Necro out!
