  2. You're asking an awful lot of something that has been shared freely by DaveyDee for everybody. There are thousands upon thousands of KV tracks, many of them in foreign languages - and the only list of what's available is with KV themselves. So no matter what you have or can get there's no way of knowing what you don't have, and additional there have been some KV tracks which have been wirhdrawn an no longer available (presumably copyright problems). Just to mae things harder for us there are at least 3 numbering systems being used; there's KV and KVD and there are different (but just to keep us confused I think) numbers used by iCroons - but sometimes the numbers that are seen on iCroons are the same as the KV website. Go figure. I have many thousands of KV tracks, massively duplicated, and it's taking me a helluvalong time to sort through them, and to do so I'm using the system that Scottie uses where they're listed by the artist rather than the KV number. It's not helped by the liottle changes that are made by people as they go through there collections; f'rinstance there are three different types of apostrophes and two different kinds of dashes; and some numbering systems remove an apostrophe replacing it with a space and a capital - so that don't becomes don T; and GoogleDrive which likes to replace apostrophes with an underscore and the same with the ampersand (&), luckily I have an ancient renaming program (which doesn't work properly for me in Win10 but has uses which other programs don't do, it'll automatically rename those underscores for a start There's the kind person that renames every Fleetwood Mac (including Peter Greens' Fleetwood Mac) as Stevie Nicks, and the otherone that renames Yardbirds songs as by Eric Clapton (even the obes with Jimmy Page on lead guitar). And those that like to rename n artist with second name first - thus creating mass confusion with multiple artists on a song. Rant paused for the moment, 5 to One in the morning and the wife's just put dinner on the table.

  3. Hi, Yes it is. It is taking me a heck of a lot longer to get it into a state that I am happy with though!! Also, please bear in mind that I will not be able to please everybody. I don't think there is a universal way of doing things that is right for everyone. Here is a rough idea what I am doing: Taking each manufacturer one at a time, I have tidied up the folder structure so it is a bit easier to follow. Renamed folders so they follow on more sensibly. Loaded each manufacturer into MP3Tag and performed the following: Renamed the disc albums themselves so they all are named properly and follow on consecutively. I took the naming at "Karaoke Shack" as a starting point for the naming convention. Next I started tidying the tags. Remove "THE " and "A " from the beginning of ARTIST name and TITLE. Standardised all artists, removing "Feat" "Ft" "featuring" "with" "x" and all other similar references, leaving as little fluff as possible. Checked for spelling mistakes. Checked for ARTIST / TITLE being the wrong way round. Correct and identify different versions of a song. Remove all special characters which make it hard to search, such as beyoncé or Blue Öyster Cult. When playing a song, if it was completely the wrong song (this happened much more than you would think) then go to the album and correct all songs on the album. Once happy, move on to the next manufacturer. Once all manufacturers have been tidied up, load ALL the songs together and repeat the process. So, now, hopefully, if you search for any song, then all results will look the same. No more looking through ELVIS PRESLEY and PRESLEY, ELVIS for FOOL SUCH AS I, NOW AND THEN THERE'S A FOOL SUCH AS I, (NOW AND THEN) THERE'S A FOOL SUCH AS I. They all should be identical. ** Also, more controversially, I have removed the vast majority of full vocal-guide tracks.** Next, I am looking through my own collection and replacing all instances where mine are a higher bit-rate. So, this collection may not be for everybody, but it should be much *much* nicer to work with for a lot of people. Also bear in mind, I am human, and I will not be able to catch every error. I think I have made tens of thousands of alterations ,but I haven't listed to the vast majority, so errors will likely still remain. One of my hopes is that errors will be reported and can be updated, to improve the collection for everybody. When I am happy with my work I will upload it all. According to MEGA this will take 9 days at 24 hours a day!!! Is this normal? it is just over 1TB.. Lee.

  4. I think, and this is only my opinion, that you're making a mistake there, off the top of my head I can only think of one Artist that starts with [ A ], and that's A Flock of Seagulls - but certainly removing The is great; I have left The The and The Who as exceptions that prove the rule IYSWIM. With titles I think that you're completely wrong there, punters look for a name that they recognise - A House is Not a Home, , The Climb, The Rose, The Best Things in Life are Free, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance... Agree entirely, P!nk instead of Pink annoys me as well together with title and/or artist names all in capitals or completely lower case. I've also started renaming any names with $ as part of them to an S. It's onky a personal thing, but I also remove full-stops (periods for any left-pondians here) - REM, Run DMC, KT Tunstall, TI, KD Lang - and just to be awkward B.O.B. becomes BoB and Charlie XCX becomes Charlie XcX Elvis' "I Just Can't Help Believing" is another one that frerquently gets the initial I chopped off. While I think of it why have songs released by The Four Season, The Supremes and Martha & the Vandellas all been renamed to Frankie Valli & the Four Season, Diana Ross & the Supremes and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas. Not forgetting that One Direction cast-off Zayn Malik, whose management are desparately trying to get him known as ZAYN ; shades of Cheryl Coles' renaming to Cheryl. I mean, are those nonentites the equivalent to Prince and Madonna - who were always called by the single name?? Only in their imagination.

  7. It's hard enough to understand most of the punters as they are quite inebriated most of the time , then you've got the people who want to sing "wise men say" or "summer lovin'" & the ones who want to sing but have forgot the name of the song and the artist & the tune , then expect you to know which song it is

  9. [HEADING=3][/HEADING] Hi. Is it your plan, @leenew Karaoke, to make your collection available online as DaveyDee has once it has been completed with the kind help of many here? That would be great.
