Yeah all the US versions of Lovesexy are one track. You need to find a recent UK copy they are all properly indexed.

It's called a piece of ART, meant by Prince to be played in one continous sequence... cool But it's a bit annoying, I admit.

it doesn't work with AAC (unless the newest version does - though i doubt it). rip the disc to a wav file, the split the tracks how you want them with Audacity. import them into iTunes and you can use the "create AAC version" at whatever bitrate you want.

and then burn a disc (don't forget to remove the 2 second gaps) of the wav files so that you've got a tracked CD on hand as well.

If you want to listen to just the "singles" go and buy a MJ album, Prince music is art, like it or not.

That why you have the Black Album so you can hear When 2 R In Love without cramping up your finger. You do have the Black Album right?
Just asking cause it took you 21 years to pick up Lovesexy.

Dood, to me, MJ music s art too. I respect both artists. But just like in any other artistic fields, "art" doesnt mean "always good" and "flawless"... I may respect Prince's view on this "single track concept", but wut about us? Its like he's force-feeding us to "enjoy" his artistry and we aint got hit to say?? uck it, if l dont agree with it, l say so! Prince is an artist indeed, but not a perfect artist!

I have a single-track copy of Lovesexy and a multi-track that I got off of ebay and was shipped from Germany.

The single track version was fine, but I really prefer the multi-track version. I don't care if it's supposed to be enjoyed as a cohesive whole. Sometimes I want to skip tracks. And, more importantly, if I want to put individual tracks on a compliation CD or MP3 play list, the multi-track version is obviously necessary.
