Whoa, I had no idea. This is one of my favorite albums. I have the FLAC rip of the CD on my phone. Does anybody know how I could actually rip that zero track? iTunes didn’t do it.


The keyword to search is "HTOA" ("Hidden Track One Audio"):

I think you also need to find CD/DVD drive which can extract HTOA, not all drives can do it. There were lists (one of them is linked in Hydrogenaudio article), but I think those are severely outdated now.


I haven’t used it for years, but EAC was the gold standard for ripping. This thread mentions a few other options as well:
