I get it would feel more musically satisfying if we had crisp endings on all the fadeout songs, but it would require adding on some sort of short musical section that doesn't actually appear on the recorded version, and I think that would probably violate the publishing agreements.

At any rate, I will relay this to HQ and see what they say!

Thanks!

For example, I am learning Candy by Iggy Pop now, and I love so much playing along, but at the end of the song it always feels like I can't "finish" off properly.

Up until recently I had only heard Frampton's live version! I stubled his stdio version on his "Acoustic Classics" album - beautifull acoustic guitar - simple but effective.
