Pinned KARAOKE ENTHUSIAST CHAT

[DaedalusWren]

I just undertook and finished the most productive step in cleaning up my collection for my songbookslive list. I edited the Advanced Renamer registry info to allow 300,000 entries. Loaded up my whole karaoke folder and replaced patterns "10000" with "10,000" (specifically for 10,000 Maniacs), "Im" with "I'm" and removed all instances of ", The" from the whole collection. Then I loaded up the whole collection with KJFM, so it could test the zips and automatically rename the compressed MP3 and CDG within. Took about two hours for KJFM to load and process 277,000 files. It was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it, even though I am sure to find other naming issues, but these ones were the glaring ones. KJFM found 57 files with problems and my song list is a lot neater with fewer instances of one song listed multiple times because of a grammatical error or strange name formatting.

When wildcard renaming ", the" , I always add provisos:

 

1: If ", the" is part of the phrase ", the - " then simply delete;

that takes care of band names starting with "The".

 

2: If ", the" is at the end then replace the second occurence

of " - " with " - The "; that sorts out songs which start with the

word "The".

 

3: As with item 2 above, same with ", A " ; never ever

understood that logic of taking an a from the beginning and

tacking it onto the end of a title.

Hi Everyone

 

Had some requests that I don't have, and wondering if anyone has them by any chance.

They are

 

Donald O'Connor and Ethel Merman - You're Just In Love

 

Neil Sedaka - Solitaire

 

Nat King Cole - Affair To Remember

 

Josh Groban - Pure Imagination

Was unable to get a decent split of the Ethel Merman one but have been able to create a workable Nat King Cole Backing and hence a karaoke file.

Let me know if it's useable.

It is amazing how much those little things can clean up your song listings.

Not bad at all, very little vocal artifact, but I think this was taken from the re-recording for an album at Capitol with a new, swingier arrangement by Nelson Riddle (rather than the original more shuffle type arrangement that was closer to the one used in the movie) single release that was put out at the time of the movie release. Not sure why Nat's version became so big, as Vic Damone sang the song for the opening credits of the movie, but his version has sort of slipped into obscurity.

I have a decent track. I'll make a track, however I'm really busy this week so it will be a few days I think

Sorry. I didn't look to see Genome already made the track
