Mapple can pry my keyboard from my dead, cold hands.

I always hated fadeouts on songs; seems like artists just couldn’t figure out how to end it. Maybe it’s due to chiefly listening to punk rock and thrash medal, but I shan’t use crossfade or Smart Song Transitions. 

Ending a piece of music is almost as hard As writing the music itself. Even Beethoven had this problem, so it’s nothing new.

I've written and recorded a few dozen punk songs, which is a bit of a different genre than Beethoven (as well as the genre I invented in my autocorrected post, "thrash medal") but ending songs is easy: play the last note/chord/measure, then stop. That's also how we did it when I played trombone in school(s) for nine years. Fades are antithetical with live music (save electronic stuff, I suppose) and therefore have always struck me as a studio gimmick overused back in the daze. But, you know, I'm just a codger who likes riding a guitar like a Harley through the desert.

Seems like that could cause heat concerns, and if done a few times, low battery levels. Pretty nifty though. 

Apple has made its products worse for so long, I bought so many I feel like I’m living in a company town. 

This is like hearing parents getting it on.

Or at least foreplay with Cook’s feely-touchy vernacular.
