It's only a matter of a couple of seconds but it does make a slight difference in the first playthrough and it makes a difference in subsequents as well. Some earlier released versions of DSOTM can also be identified by the title sequence. The first song is supposed to be listed as "Breate" -- of course -- but some over anxious person titled it instead, "Breathe In The Air".)

Be sure also to set your CD player to continuous replay. This in most CD players is done by hitting the "REPEAT" button twice. Hitting it once will usually repeat only the presently playing track so hit the button two (2) times and... [continues]
