Help with songs

[tower3389]

I was hoping someone out there could tell me where a good reliable place to buy new songs. We would rather download then buying full cd's as we already have 19,000 songs but would like to get some newer hits.

I will leave this up to Admin. As far as we know, there are currently NO legal places to download CDG songs from.

Thanks for the quick reply. So where could we order cd's from that is a reliable company. Maybe even a company that can burn cd's from a list we provide.

Most of the major brands will do custom discs for a price. As far as finding the current CDs I use Ebay, but you have to be careful who you deal with as I have gotten a couple of copies instead of originals. Check their feedback.

Here
is where I buy all my disc's. The price includes shipping. They ship 1st class USPS and it only takes a couple of days. I have been buying from them for six or seven years. They seem to be about the best to me. I don't think they do custom disc's.

CAV's website sells single songs but you have to buy their converter program.

[PurpleKiwi]

Converting from CAVS format does not require their decoder - the zips files now generally include a .cdg file - we have used the following steps to create .bin files then import into hoster.

CAVS batch renamer - run that across them to get rid of the songid.zip name & it will remane with the track name.

MP3+G Toolz - use this on the folder containing the zip files - it will convert everything to .bin files

Rename all the .bin files - we use Brand - diskid - track - artist - title.bin
(in our case we use the diskid as a purchase tracker i.e. CAVS001, CAVS002 & the track numbers within each purchase)

Import into hoster.

- The only 'fault' we are finding from this is 3 seconds cut off the end of each
song ( usually silence but occasionally a brutal stop when you aren't expecting it) - easy to cover though - drop the levels in the last couple of seconds that you have.
I also suggest removing the orginal .bin & Zip files from the computer & burning them to a DVD for safe storage - if posssible, include a pdf or similar of the invoice on the DVD.

The above step is optional, but for purposes of maintaining "chain of ownership" it clearly shows to anyone getting stroppy that I have purchased the music [legally] & if the supplier doesn't have a legal right to be selling them, I'm not at fault as they claim it is all legal. As for the format shifting - I can't see a problem with it, if they do, they can crawl back to their caves.

hope that helps
