Keeping Duplicate Songs

[michbabe]

Actually what I show is 16.08 on that long song. The disc is by Top Hits Monthly, and the song believe it or not is "Wild as the Wind" by Garth Brooks..

[Lonman]

But does it actually play as 16 minutes or did it import funny? I have one song that imported as a 12 minute song but is actually a 5.32 minute song, it hung up at the end & will play the entire 12 minutes, but just with the outro screen & no sound.
Can't remember the longest song I have encountered but haven't seen anything over 10 minutes in 16 years.

Wow....guess I'll have to check that out Lonman, before I delete!!!!

Nope by far not THE longest. I have one version of Total Eclipse Of The Heart - FULL version that run just shy under 10 minutes.

Wow....I am going to have to check my song out then and see if it is messed up like mentioned....
I was going mostly by the size of the files, I was checking out any that seemed awful large. Then I'd find out the name of the song, and what hoster said the time was....
Guess now I'll go in and find out if these songs are any good or not. I never thought about that!!!
But like I said before, after being on disc, and now changing over to Hoster, this is like starting all over again, weeding out the bad, etc... AAAAh!!!
Thanks so much for all the help and advise...I'll check these songs out that seem awful long and be sure they are good...
Thanks again!!!

My books only have one title no duplicates and does not have numbers or song source id. I do have more than one on the hard drive, but I have culled a lot of songs off it. Such as multiple copies of the same brand, mm and mm oldies is one for instance. I do consider, THM, SC, and CB to be premier brands though DK versions of some songs are better for me, and some others. I have a sunfly version of Me and Bobby McGee that I sing because it is the Kristofferson version and cannot find that elsewhere. I've had to go to some other sources for hard to find songs like Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash, went to Xtreme Karaoke in the UK, no American published go figure. So I do have exceptions when I'm culling the hard drive. I am currently running two laptops with 9000 and I'm still culling dupes off them, little over 14000 on my rack mount PCs. If folks are not singing them I don't have them on the laptops, where HD space is a premium as I don't haul an outboard HD with me. I'm running DJ and KJ off the same drive. Found 8 gig for DJ and 59gig for KJ is plenty. My laptops don't use a lot of preloaded programs so they are delteted also. If I don't need it, it's not on it. Small things like who needs 350 cursors? Who needs the full student office 2007, or how many sample pics, videos ect. How about after you delete all media .wav sounds but the low or critical battery warnings what else of PC sounds do you need? I just don't need a sound for the recycle bin emtying.
