It was Weasleby, by God! At last I had the miserable blighter precisely where I wanted him!


$2.99 at ARC Thrift Store the other day, $175 median sale price on Discogs. So, it depends.

I can only assume it’s Wiggles completists buying it for the Cockroaches track. Other than that and a couple of songs by other bands most people outside Australia have never heard of (The Chantoozies, Models) everything on there is unremarkable, easy-to-find radio pop.

Assuming you care about getting bit-perfect rips (and why wouldn’t you; if you’re going to do something, may as well do it right the first time) pick a ripper with CTDB integration to checksum/repair the results.

And FWIW don’t waste time and drive life on “secure” rips until you know that the disc needs one. Reading the right bits off a CD in the right order has been a solved problem since the ‘80s and in my experience nine out of ten times you’ll get an accurate rip in burst mode.
