I just got a chance to A-B the radio edit (which was what I was familiar with) and the pop mix. Wow, I like the pop mix more - it adds more instrumentation to what's on the radio edit, and the drums kick in a lot sooner. According to the TM Century site, it seems the pop mix was released about 3 months after the radio edit. I imagine the song had already taken off (if not a full fledged hit) by the time the pop mix was even serviced to radio. So does anyone recall which version was actually played on radio (more popular)?

Since posting this several years ago, I purchased two different promo CD singles for "I'm Yours." I had this one already ripped to my hard drive, and I can confirm it is lossless (yay!):

PRCD 512211
1. Pop Mix (listed & actual 3:19)
2. Radio Edit (listed & actual 3:32)

I also have this promo CD, but I didn't check to see if the source is lossless or not:

PRCD 447932
1. Radio Edit (listed 3:32)
2. Album Version (listed 4:03)]]> Thu, 01 Jan 2015 02:34:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=42841&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#42841 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=42838&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#42838 Author: EdisonLite

Aaron mentions that Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" (Radio Edit) is only mp3 quality (lossy) on the TM Century & Promo Only discs. Does anyone know if the source is also lossy on NOW 30 or the promo CD singles? Also, has anyone ever come across the 3:19 "pop mix" that Pat describes the database? I've only seen CD singles with the 3:32 radio edit. (And for that matter, is the "pop mix" also of lower (mp3) quality, or is it WAV?]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:11:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=42838&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#42838 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27639&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27639 Author: aaronk

I'd like to give it a try, if you can supply the source :)]]> Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:56:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27639&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27639 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27638&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27638 Author: Brian W.

Maybe you can edit it into the Radio Edit??]]> Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:46:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27638&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27638 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27621&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27621 Author: aaronk

I think the Radio Edit was only about 3:40, but my copy definitely
doesn't look like that on the spectral view. It looks like mp3. ]]> Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:57:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27621&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27621 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5870&PID=27619&title=lossy-sources-on-big-2008-hits#27619 Author: Brian W.

I have the "Amended" version of "Whatever You Like," Aaron, which was one of the two stand-alone singles. I got it from MusicGiants. Not sure if it's the same as the Radio Edit, but it looks lossless to me, even if the frequency cutoff is a little lower than usual:

I'm in the process of going through all of the top 15 airplay hits from 2008, and here are the songs I do not have from a lossless source. The sources I checked are all supposed to be lossless (Promo Only, TM's Prime Cuts, downloadable wav files). I haven't yet checked the full length albums, but of course they won't contain the radio versions of the songs. I'll continue to update this list as I go:

T.I. "Whatever You Like" (Radio Edit)
Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" (Radio Edit)
Kevin Rudolf f/Lil' Wayne "Let It Rock" (Radio Edit)
Kardinal Offishall f/Akon "Dangerous" (Radio Edit)
Pussycat Dolls "When I Grow Up" (Main)
Colby O'Donnis "What You Got" (non-described version, probably same as full-length album)
Ray J. "Sexy Can I" (Super Clean - No Booty)
Taylor Swift "Our Song" (Pop Mix)
Sara Bareilles "Love Song" (Radio Edit)
