This package is designed to be burned to CD, and is arguably best heard on that old-fashioned medium. On an iPod, you lose all the many subtleties of the CD track design, like the clever fact that the album with bonus tracks is exactly 69 minutes long. But your MP3 player would have you believe that it's only 68:58, which is wrong. Additionally, Apple sucks.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SENSIBLE
The free program Burrrn! can burn this disc directly from the lossless FLAC file and provided "special" FLAC cue sheet (FLACllama.cue). In order to legally CMA, let me just say that you install this program at your own risk and I take no responsibility for any consequences (but yo, it's cool and fine and all; Google it if you don't believe me). Simply install Burrrn! by running burrrn_package.exe, start it from the Start menu, press "Add" to load the FLACllama.cue (NOT the WAVllama.cue) file, and then press "Burrrn" to make a fresh disc.

If you are NON-SENSIBLE and want to use another CD burning program that can't burn straight from FLAC (like Nero) to make the disc, here's the procedure.
(You do NOT need to do this if you follow the steps above.)
1. Install FLAC Frontend, if you have not done so already.
2. Start FLAC Frontend and load the included llama.flac file into it ("Add Files").
3. Press "Decode." If asked, decode file to the same folder under the name llama.wav. Warning: this will create a 700MB .wav file on your hard drive. The .wav MUST be kept in the same folder as WAVllama.cue.
4. Using any old CD burning software that can read .cues (which is most of the good ones, anyway), open the WAVllama.cue file (NOT the FLACllama.cue) and burn the audio disc.
5. Delete the .wav (and the .flac, too... hell, nuke it all, see if I care).

Either process will give you a copy that's every bit as good as uhhhh "storebought."
The original album artwork and liner notes follow if you clicky here.
