ADNA Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 Hi all, Just thought I would point out the bad news regarding SBI closing their site. The text below is directly from their website: IMPORTANT NOTICE Unfortunately the SBI Karaoke website will be closing on the 6th of February 2025. We strongly recommend that you log into your account and make sure that you’ve downloaded all of the tracks that you’ve purchased as there will be no access to them after the website closes. Customers with outstanding credits on their account should ensure they use them before then. If you have a very large number of credits please get in touch. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused. We’d like to thank all of our customers who have supported us over the last 40+ years. So, to reiterate now is a good time to make sure all your tracks are downloaded and that all your credits are spent. It would also be nice if there were a way to obtain a tracklisting with song IDs for future sorting reference since the site would be inaccessible for song ID searches. I assume that the song ID searches are probably just SQL stored procedures that access the information server side, so it may be impractical to try to capture this information. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? - ADNA 3 1 4 1

I really appreciate it. I just wanted to query whether some tracks on your discs 2, 8, 36, 37 and 53 were also bad or if it is just a Mega issue? I have re-downloaded them a few times, but to no avail. Regardless, thanks to you, I am in a much better place than where I started with my KB collection. - ADNA 11 1 1
Premium VIP Coggerz Posted January 30 Premium VIP Report Posted January 30 Hey Guys, is it my perception or do the total number of pages in the group keep reducing. It seems like every time I come along to catch up, there are more new posts and fewer pages. Confused Coggerz 2 2

I believe i downloaded them from somewhere about 15-20yrs ago when downloading was in its infancy. 2

Confused Coggerz Yes that seems to be the case since the upgrade approx 300 pages also noticed it on other glodls sites perhaps ITAKE knows more? Possible that pages from up to 5yrs ago have been deleted as they are no longer being seeded one would think. 1

ADNA Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 29 minutes ago, KaraokeGirl said: oh no! I've used them for over a decade It is pretty sad since they have been around for multiple decades and, in the mid-90s, were one of the first online karaoke manufacturers. I did some research on the matter, and it appears that (according to very non-verifiable sources - take this information with a pinch of salt): - SBI had not really been producing much new stuff since Nov/Dec 2024 - The rationale for this and the website being closed is due to the owner dying in November 2024. - The family apparently looked into all their options and eventually decided they would not continue running the business. - This seems to align with the fact that a few people have complained on social media as of Jan 2025 that they have not seen new releases for the last month or two. - Apparently, SBI are primarily closing their customer-facing operations, and some of its catalogues may still be available for purchase from certain resellers for a while. An example of a reseller that has SBI as a partner is: This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Again, I have obtained all the above information from a number of unverifiable sources, so do take it with a pinch of salt. 16 1 1 1
