Mux178: September 2015

8:21 p.m. central update: I've reuploaded the mux as "mux178-fixed.mp3" in the Dropbox link. The ending Battles track is still slightly distorted on the low end (especially around the 51 minute mark, since it goes into the bass basement), but it was a rip that was very low-volume (and so it's low volume compared to the rest of the mux), so this is the best I can do before La Di Da Di proper comes out. As far as I can tell, it's an Audacity problem, so if you crank the volume you won't get any more distortion than what's already there. You're welcome or something.

Damage control: Re-encoding the mux because apparently "The Yabba" didn't like being pumped up 6 dB.

Download.
