Well, back to work- | and let me guess... they fit the description of what I described... those aren't really exceptions, Itunes has a policy, it's that simple. none of this is random. again, not sure why you are obsessing over this - if you make an album today and try to upload it, album only, it's not gonna happen... but go ahead and try, and let me know how that works out for you.

again, not sure why you are obsessed with this... if you upload an album, the songs will be ala carte... but feel free to prove me wrong...

there are obviously many instances of itunes where the numerical count of songs on an album compel its purchase as well- I dont know if thats a reasonable option, but, it is what it is.

Bob Dylan - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"; The Grateful Dead - "Dark Star" (live version), Iron Butterfly - Inna Gadda Da Vida" (uncut album version)..... I can probably think of a few more............ really long songs.
