That's Prince for ya, welcome to the club

I'm sure some rippers would allow one to insert gaps as needed. I just have not got around to bothering to do so.
I have the CD as well and like a few cuts inparticular but having to listen for 25 minutes just to hear them isn't always fun. Because it's continous I haven't listened to it in years.
Now you can get his Hits collection and get the party started.
