I'm so confused why jukeboxes would even offer songs like those.

(Part of it might be that I'm not the kind of person who goes to the kinds of places that have jukeboxes in the first place. When I think of one, I'm still thinking of the kind of machine that has a bunch of CDs in it and an interface simple enough to be either one button per song, or reading a numbered paper list and typing in the number, so maybe 100 or so choices max.)

They're fully digital now and stream their songs from an internet connection, with a small amount of local storage as well.

Yeah, I figured. But even then, letting people pick >10 minute songs seems like a bad idea -- if not for the sanity of the other patrons, then at least for the profitability of the machine (e.g. preferring to charge for three 3-minute "radio edit" songs instead of one long one).

But I paid a whole quarter, I should be able to listen to the FULL version of Alice's Restaurant
