>>>All of us have the same amount of time on our hands, and we each use it in different ways. Editing music like this is second nature to me, and I can do it very quickly. I find music very rewarding, certainly more rewarding than watching "reality" TV (what an oxymoron) or following the stock market.

Yes, but for instance, over the past two days I visited two friends in the hospital, I put in 8 hours doing volunteer work, I phoned and e-mailed many friends to let them know I was thinking of them, I helped my father-in-law and mother with computer problems they were having, as well as listened to and studied film music, went shopping, cleaned the house, did "family" duties, etc.

I find helping others to be very rewarding work, so comparing soundtrack obsessing with reality TV and the stock market is not really fair. I prefer to compare obsessing over soundtrack music with helping out and caring for others, and because of that, I don't have as much free time as I'd like regarding my personal possessions, like my music library.

I was just stating that it seems like you spent a helluva lot of time compiling information about a specific score, and I am not sure (at least to me) that it's worth that much time given the relative "sameness" of the quality of the sonics involved in the various sources. I have every SODOM... album and CD ever released, and when I want to listen to the music, I put on one or the other releases -- and I enjoy all of the listening experiences. I guess I don't let sonics rule my listening enjoyment, especially when we're talking about negligible improvements in sound from one recording to the other. All of the recordings are far from audiophile, so why obsess over such minor "improvements?"
