Main Street USA - Christmas BGM

For years, I've heard that the WDW MSUSA Christmas loop was the same as the loop used in Disneyland, a copy of which, running 61:09, is in general circulation. A playlist for the DL loop can be found here. I ended up with a partial recording last year and, from what I could tell, the WDW version was not the same. I made a full recording last night (56:54) and here are the differences between the two that I noted:

- Some of the tracks in the 61:09 track appear to be off-speed/off-pitch, at least compared to my recording.

- O Tannenbaum is not included in my recording.

- Do You Hear What I Hear? has the first ~20 seconds cut and Jingle Bell Rock has the first ~7 seconds cut, as compared to what's included in the 61:09 track. Can anyone confirm whether the audio cut from these two songs are actually used in the DL loop, as represented in the 61:09 track?

For reasons unknown to me, it appears that Jingle Bell Rock, Jingle Bells, and ~39 seconds of Christmas Waltz are played again immediately following Lobe Den Herren. These songs were first captured at the very beginning of my recording and then again, about half way through, even though the music that follows is different than what was captured in the first part of the recording. Sometimes you hear some strange things in these loops. :lol:

Although I think the loop should run 56:54, it will actually run closer to an hour if I have to include the repeated songs (which I refuse to do).

I also confirmed the DHS Christmas loop is the same as in prior years. The EPCOT Christmas loop is usually the same as DHS, except for the Lights of Winter loop. However, the EPCOT music hasn't been turned on yet so I cannot confirm this year's music. It's also been reported on another website that the Lights of Winter display at EPCOT will not return this year. I hope this rumor turns out to be false.

Which copy of DL's loop are you listening to? The one I've had forever is 57:45. the FLAC one that got put up on Rodentsections is 61:02-3 I think.. so I guess you're referencing to that one. But I'd very easily assume the flac one was made by taking the cd tracks and putting them in order..

The FLAC one was posted by me. That comes from a CD which I found on eBay- it purports to be a copy of a Library Reference CD. Who knows what it's actual origin is.

I intend to make a complete recording of the Disneyland loop this season; we can then compare the actual DL loop to the actual WDW loop and then to the various copies which have circulated.

Do you know how your 57:45 copy compares to the playlist on MiceChat?

I've never listened all the way through comparing. All I know is the beginning of the first song is cut off compared to the FLAC version, but I forget which way it happens in the park.

Bummer. I think I was away on a business trip and missed the FLAC post on rodentsections. I later saw they had pulled a XMAS torrent and I would guess that was it.

It really is a shame that XMAS Main Street Loop is no longer in circulation anymore. I never thought to download it until recently, but it is no longer in circulation. Too bad. I hope it will show up sometime in the near future.
