Indeed. There was wide variety and not at all the same few tired audiophile tracks. The scandinavian companies led the charge there. Alas, I could not find all of their music on my phone.
I understand wanting to show off one's gear with audiophile recordings, but I'm listening to Led Zeppelin, Doobie Brothers, ZZ Top, etc on standard pressing at home.....that's what I would love to see more of.

Well, you would be happy to know that SRV had a lot of play :).

That's it guys for automated song search. I have maybe a handful that I took pictures of and will post them later as I run into them.

Wondering if I should get the 8-CD pack. Watching this review. Appreciate any feedback before spending $37:

Great thread, Amir. One thing to note - Shazam and Soundhound (I have not tried Google music) often give generic results. Different pressings and different masterings sound different. As an exhibitor, I do try to find the best version of any album I play (including digital).

The Borodin came from the 1997 Classic records re-issue:

And the Eva Cassidy came from the 2015 vinyl:

Thanks Gary. Indeed that is the case. Even in digital the album Google provided is not always the right one. I have had to search to find the right album. Do you mind copying your posts you made in your announcement thread to here? I can do it or you can.

You'd better do it, Amir. When I copy my posts in the announcement thread, the pictures don't embed. Unless I'm doing something wrong?
