importing cd tracks

[RandyMcCharles]

The song list should also be on the the sleeve or jewel case the CDG came in. I have never tried removing the CDG after putting it in the drive and discovering the songs list isn't available locally or on line. I have also seen errors in the songs list that comes up so I always verify it against the sleeve.

It's similar to having a custom cdg made by Chartbuster, or SoundChoice (custom service by SC has since been discontinued), etc., you have a sleeve or jewelcase that is generic, and the only custom printed song information, is on the disc itself... same as BillyO's situation. Then you must type in the information after importing, and before selecting which and how many tracks to import, as Dale has stated. The problem with the Bucket List is it is updated from the Hoster KJ's that load their songs (New CDG's & SCDG's) each month, and all the errors are mostly from operator error when they are typed the first time incorrectly... I have another problem because I have eliminated all punctuation in the song titles so I dont (sic) have to worry when searching, whether it is punctuated or not. So I go to the edit screen and edit out the punctuation marks if I download a disc that is in the bucket list data base, and it includes a title that has punctuation marks... Just me, but it has served ME well for the last 5 years that I have been using this method when preparing my books...

Good point about custom CDs. Of course, for those you will never find the CDG in the bucket
I always create the artist/song list in a text file prior to ordering so that I can check the disk for correctness when it arrives. I use that to enter info rather than reading it off the CDG at entry time.

I also understand that the bucket consists of all of our styles and entry errors. eg. Neil Diamond's America is usually "America the Beautiful" in the bucket. As for punctuation, I add it back in when missing as I like to see it in the songbook, though I agree you are better off without it when using Hoster.

Actually that is a mis-labeling by Top Tunes. The song title is actually "Coming to America." The Bucket does not list it anymore as "America the Beautiful."
As far as the errors go MTU has one staffer who makes sure the spelling is correct. She may not catch everything but does catch a lot of the mistakes.
If would help to, since we all know that it is our entries adding to the Bucket, if we make sure we have spelled and typed those titles and artists correctly.
