What price silence?

It’s likely that you have at least one CD in your collection that has a track on it that consists of nothing but silence. Sometimes artists use silent tracks as ‘spacers’ to hide a track at the very end of the CD. Anyway in today’s world of instantly downloadable tunes and digital rights management, you can actually find yourself in the surreal position of having paid 99 cents for a downloaded track that has nothing in it. Amused by this, the folks at appleturns.com have compiled a list of the silent tracks one can download from the itunes music store. They also point out a side benefit – you can play these at maximum volume without fear of blowing your speakers or annoying your neighbors 😉
