Title: Problems with the MP3 Downloads
Review: This review is NOT for the CD release, but the MP3 downloads. Firstly, the music and its interpretation are fine: I would rate these as at least 4 stars. However, the downloads have severe problems when the tracks change, a problem that I thought had disappeared: The tracks in Jeu De Cartes are meant to be played without break: The engineers have made a mess of the track transitions. Some are fine without any corrections. Some require about 0.4 second crossfades to smooth out the errors. But some require as much as 2 seconds, which, because of the length of the crossfade, results in sounds as if something is missing: the notes don't quite fit, and neither does the tempo.I would recommend that until this problem is resolved, you refrain from the download and go with the CD.Incidentally, the problem is quite apparent with iTunes, Windows Media Player, Nero player, and the Roxio player.
Is the review positive or negative?
