I remember very well that I once asked for track lengths and got a pretty harsh "Doh"-like answer. It seems that track numbers and lengths are purely a measure of quantity to him, something that is not connectable with the "Art" that they create. You can call it snobbish, but in a friendly way. The pure pleasure of get-a-lifers about "the more songs the better" is a concept that he cannot understand obviously.
