I understand Top Hits Monthly is selling their songs in mp3g format and downloaded to you, I don't care for THM or I would have looked into it.

Actually, from industry sources we talk with, CAVS is NOT legal.

The songs the sell/sold from Steller records were not licensed. Stellar sued CAVS, but CAVS is in Korea and continued selling them for a long time (if not still doing it).

CAVS' Chartbuster Essential 450 songs on the SCDG disc work out to $0.10 profit a piece if all the royalties are paid... with Chartbuster, CAVS and a Distributor all getting a cut... of $0.10? Does Not Compute!
