Yeah, I think the description field for this edition has the track listings, but only by accident because I left it blank this time. Now, I've got no idea if it's possible to access this via an iPod, and I didn't synch my iPod before leaving this morning so I can't check. I'm going to mess around with getting the metadata and mechanics a bit better this weekend for upcoming versions. Honestly, I notice a few little details on both of these that I'd like to fix, but the upload time is real bottleneck at this point. Takes forever to get it up and makes me not want to edit and re-upload. 2. Damn. I swear I checked the levels this time before I converted the file. I thought it happened last time due to an errant mouse wheel scroll that I noticed happening while mixing this version. Maybe Garageband is doing something in the mixdown where it moves the vocals to one channel when I've identified that track as narration. In any case, and despite the fact that I can't imagine anyone wanting to hear my actual voice in stereo, I'm on it. Thanks as usual, sir. 1.

The only improvement I can envision is having the track listing embedded in the .m4a (or .mp3) file via the notes field -- or is it the comments field? (It's whichever one podcasters use for the inclusion of a "show description.") That way, I can scroll through the file's data on my iPod to see who's performing track 3, for instance, since the CD covers often don't convey that info. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Oh, and that left-channel voice thing is happening again, at least in your intro. You’re 2-for-2 with these.
