Hey, new question for everybody out there In these days pf carrying thousands upon thousands of songs, do you have any particular song that you can never ever find, because you just can't stand it ?? I have many songs that irk me greatly just through the sheer repetition of them by struggling singists - although the 90s spate of Irish boy bands and Oasis etc has almost passed us now. But the bane of my life has always been Kelly and Ozzie murdering 'Changes'. I mean, I know that the customer is should always be right but I just can't find when asked. OK I must admit that I've found it a couple of times, but it always turns out to be the Davis Bowie song that has somehow been mis-labelled What's the one that you hate ?? The song that every time you see a particular singer coming up you know what they're gonna sing, badly ??

Unlike (say), ChartBuster with their multiple series all with multi-duplicated songs, or Pop Hits Monthly with their many different songs and series, again with multiple dupes, or Top Hits Monthly who were exactly the same, or even Pocket Songs (my favourite despitetheir sometimes non-existent graphics) who had Just Tracks, Screen Tracks, Singers Dream and Stage Stars as well with vast duplication of content; all of those were major "mainstream" karaoke production houses. Hmm, almost exactly what VocalStar do exept that their motto is flog it expensive and try to flood the market with multiple near-identical discs with covers that change every year or so to make them look lkie new issues I have many of the HomeStar discs and there are a fair number of tracks that appear nowhere else - please don't ask for examples cos my examination of the HS, GSW and SFHS (SunFly bought their entire stock when they went out of business) disc is a long time and many hard drives in the past. Yep, SunFly (and Fat Cockerel as well come to think of it) had issues with their anti-copying efforts; remember those long hours copying at one-speed with a Yamaha F1 and laetr on the Plextors ?? I have a couple of the NEO-G machines in my garage, most likely unusable by now, I simply didn't have the patience to transcode to the correct format to make my own discs. It seems only yesterday that we carted thousands of discs in bulky "wallets" the size and three times theweight of a Technics turntable and still didn't have all of the songs that we were asked for - now, a laptop with an in-pocket bootable USB stick with the essential programs installed on it (twice I've had a computer crash during a show) and a duplicate karaoke drive - and we still get asked for songs that we don't have

Backstage were/are deffo legit - sub-division of NuTech, I purchased a complete set from the USA via eBay some15-20 years back on and they were/are handy in the xtreme. Karaoke Shack has this to say about Backstage (not quite sure what's happening with Karaoke Shack, their membership has been closed for a few years now - until the site updates, whatever that means): Backstage Karaoke Series Firstly, Backstage karaoke discs are a bit of a collectors item nowadays. Indeed, they did produce some decent karaoke tracks according to our feedback. But, never given too much credit in the karaoke world. Furthermore, Backstage Karaoke was an arm of Nutech karaoke. Indeed, Backstage did rely on many Nutech karaoke tracks to fill up their discs sometimes. There are also a few Hot Line Karaoke discs available which are basically Backstage clones. So, if you have the Backstage, you may want to give the Hot Line a miss if finances are short. Likewise, the Sound Images Karaoke discs and the Standing Ovation Karaoke discs are Backstage clones too. With this in mind, more research is necessary to ensure karaoke collectors do not duplicate their collections. For this reason, we welcome more input on this subject. However, we have listed some of the AKA discs next to the main ID’s. In other words, BS6617 is AKA SO208. In general, as far as collecting karaoke discs goes, the Backstage series are very cheap to buy. For example, on ebay, we saw individual Backstage discs going for £2.50 post free ($3.20 US) ($4.10 Aus). In effect, with around eighty four discs that exit, Backstage Karaoke has done really well. Just to point out, the disc ID’s mainly end in the number 17. However, with only 4 numbers, this is not a problem. But, it can make them slightly confusing when working with them.

Give Rem my regards

Not quite sure in what format you posted the above, but your links look like this: [Hidden Content]

Dammit, must get new batteries for these specs.

You look to be missing one track in that lot Here it is: [Hidden Content]

Hi wilkinp4, just looked at your list and note that you have Abraxxa as defunct. Not so, they're very much still going, they're part of the SBI group.

Looking at my AH folder I can see the following notes: 1701 - same as 8019 8421 - same as 8021 AHM (note not AHMX) same as AHVP which is Variety Pack

Davey, Many thanx for the fill. ZipChecking thru my DCK directory I found a few others if you could possibly help me: DCK457-02 DCK556-01 DCK699-01 to 09, 10 is OK DCK705-04, 07 and 10

My DCK700 zipfiles are corrupt, I'm hoping that it's not the first sign of an HD dying so I'm busy transferring all of my k-files onto another drive. Would some kind person please put up DCK700 for me. cheers BJ

Please dont'worry, Sacot1 provided them for me.

Many thanx for these Scottie.

I have a number of these STTW's missing, these are the packs where I know that all of the tracks are missing - although they may be lurking on other discs: 1179 DVD Chart Hits 2003 1182 Party Starter Pack 1939 KJpro 10 2769 KJpro 13 2849 KJpro 14 2850 KJpro 15 2851 KJpro 16 2852 KJpro 17 2879 KJpro 18 2881 KJpro 19 2882 KJpro 20 3046 KJpro 23 3068 KJpro 28 3068 KJ Pro 28 3069 KJ Pro 29 3070 Country Greats 2 3071 Country Greats 3 3086 KJpro 30 3095 KJpro 31 3096 KJpro 32 3099 KJpro 33 3166 High School Karaoke = 3171'2'3 3170 Irish Hearts 2 3186 Tribute to Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder 3188 Amy Winehouse & Lily Allen 3190 Hits of Michael Buble

Absolutely fantastic DaveyDee, another STTW gap filled.

Right, done a little checking against the listing in KSLC and what I have here in my STTW directory if nobody else has the 2 missing tracks below we can make up the disc or somebody may want to download them from STTW where they're both available for download: 12 - NIna Simone - Feeling Good 13 - Joan Armatrading - Drop the Pilot Where I have the tracks listed as 'same as' I have them Track 01, same as STTW1162-10 Track 02. same as STTW1163-01, STTW3336-13, STTW3146-01 Track 03, same as STTW1163-02, STTW1007-08 Track 04, same as STTW1163-03, STTW3108-01 Track 05, same as STTW3108-06, STTW3108-06 Track 06, same as STTW1163-05, STTW3066-07 Track 07, same asSTTW1163-06, STTW2271-02 Track 08, same asSTTW1163-07, STTW3141-602, STTW1240-02, STTW1014-02 Track 09, same asSTTW1163-08, STTW3163-04, STTW2257-03 Track 10, same asSTTW1163-09 Track 11, same asSTTW1163-10 Track 12, - only on STTW1938 Track 13, - also on STTW1208 Track 14, - have this as an odd track copied from a punters disc Track 15, same as STTW1301-09, STTW1200-02

STTW1938 is KJpro #9. I don't have it

Hmmm, my highest number for a disc set is STTW3447, but that's disc sets I have 80 of their digital downloads tracks from STTW2138 to STTW9507 (calling in at 3's 4's 6's 6's 7's 8's on the way) plus 12 with no numbers, so I think that that's the problem solved. The un-numbered ones that I have may be in one or more of the disc sets, here they are: STTW - Celine Dion - The Power of Love.zip STTW - Dionne Warwick - A House is Not a Home.zip STTW - Eagles - Lyin' Eyes.zip STTW - Erasure - The Circus.zip STTW - Erasure - Victim of Love.zip STTW - John Holt - I'd Love You to Want Me.zip STTW - Johnny Burnette - Dreamin.zip STTW - Johnny Cash - A Thing Called Love.zip STTW - Kenny Rogers - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town.zip STTW - Roy Orbison - Too Soon to Know.zip STTW - Tab Hunter - Young Love.zip STTW - Tina Turner - Proud Mary (Short Version).zip Not sure what the 4 numbering systems are that wilkinp4 mentions, I kmow of 3: 1. The catalog number of the set of discs. 2. The catalog nubers of each of the individual discs. 3. Catalog numbers of each of the individual tracks that might be downloaded, these look to be scattered higgeldy piggeldy amongst the numbers of the disc sets and individual discs.

Just a quick edit, the above link takes you to just 2022, use this one for all 23 of the collections [Hidden Content]

Gives 'em practice But if ur looking for a listing of the last folder in a folder chain then there won't be any sub-folders will there ?? Totally agree, PowerShell ? Ptoohh!!! I never ever use it; tried it and was unable to find a list of commands from the prompt, or even easily on the interweb - nd even though I never use it I still find it running when I open Task Manager (5 running when I just checked) - just found a vid on YT telling me how to remove it.

To save a lot of keyboard work in the DOS box, the easiest way is to type : F: ............... to change to the F drive Then type cd sunfly/sfg/sfg045 ............ all in one line ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alternately stay in drive C: and type: CD desktop and then type DIR/b F:\SUNFLY\SFG\SFG045> C:\Users\System User\Desktop\List.txt" That'll do the job for you. Alternately open File Explorer at the directory that you want to list, and copy n paste the path from the address box at he top, and paste that into the DOSbox.

While I'm typing about MP3s, lemme point you to some of the stuff that Wilkinp4 is putting up right now, [Hidden Content] will take you to a collection of a particular year's Top 100's all conglomerated into an alphabetical list for each year. So far he's done 23 of them (2000 to 2022, no idea if he'll go to earlier years) and they're a great asset if you're doing disco as well as karaoke.

Go to my profile at [Hidden Content] to see all of my recent MP3 releases. I put up MutzNutz, MP3 New Releaese, MP3 New Albums and the BAR's (when I can get them) and all of them are wll seeded. Due to certain problems in RL I'm not putting up new commercial karaoke right now.
