Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

This was a big thing in the 90s, even Tom Petty did it.

This is a pregap track, not an unlisted track at the end. To hear this one you need to rewind the first track backwards until you get to the pregap track beginning.

Would this be something that would’ve carried over on the rip I did like 18 years ago?

Quote

“The Real Song for the Deaf”, which is essentially Track 0, is located in the pregap of Track 1 as a hidden track. The hidden track can be found by rewinding the first track to roughly -1:33. A voice comes on and says: “Huh? What?” and a pattern of low-frequency bass plays and modulates for the rest of the song.

This track […] is difficult to listen to on all but conventional CD players. Most software CD players do not allow rewinding of this nature, and most MP3 “ripping” software will not include the data.

This is so fascinating, I wonder if other types of medium of similar methods for hiding music.

People have done this with vinyl by putting hidden tracks on second grooves not connected to the main groove.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
