Artistic license.

There are several tracks like this or that have long periods of silence ending the tracking time. I'd be all for keeping the silence but excise some of it. If there's 3 mins of silence in this particular track, cut it down by a factor of 6 to 10 such that a minute tracking time is 10 secs or less.

There have been times I've tuned in during such a track and wondered if there was a station problem. I've wasted many cycles logging in to the station to find it's just a silent track.
