Pinned KARAOKE ENTHUSIAST CHAT

Hi Sacot1,

Thanks for the tracks but many are really faulty.

You're wrong there.

Because of the differing sample-rates some play at completely the wrong speed! They play like the chipmunks remix

That would be a function of the player that you're using and not what

Scottie kindly shared with us.

**different players may handle this differently. VLC certainly fails.

Lee.

VLC is not a program that I would recommend for playing karaoke, in fact

there isn't a video player that I would recommend. Playing with the version

that I have here v3.0.18 Vetinari - I find that it while it will play MP3s with their

corresponding CDGs, it will play only the MP3 if an MP3/CDG zip is dragged

into the program.

 

SFAIK any of the current DJ players which are advertised as playing video

will do the job for you - I use VirtualDJ. You can download and use the program

for free from their site; I bought mine so that as and when and if I need support

I can get it easily.

 

Here on my home computer I use WinAmp with two add-ons.

 

One of them gives WinAmp the ability to play CDGs which match the name the

an MP3 that's playing.

 

The other add-on plays the content of a ZIPfile, which means that dragging a

zip into WinAmp starts it playing the content straight away.

 

Once it's playing it's easy to use the left/right arrows to jump through a song

looking for bad GFX.

Hi BJ,

I certainly appreciate the shares, whoever they are from.

Scottie is a legend in this regard, as are you!

At work, as a DJ, I indeed use Virtual DJ with an infinity pro licence.

I was just highlighting that not all players will handle these unusual (32000 and 22050) sample-rates correctly, and may play things at the wrong speed.

On my day to day PC, when I work with MP3Tag, playing a track actually plays it with VLC. That's how I noticed the "chipmunk" playback.

 

So, maybe "faulty" was not the correct terminology? - I apologise.

In any case, a bit-rate of 96KBPS and a sample rate of 22050 is not ideal...

 

I have checked all the files in my big share that have these unusual sample-rates, and they all play at the correct speed, which is not the case with some of the recently shared Capital files.

I don't think this is important enough to pursue this any further so I have tagged, tidied, and uploaded all the Capital stuff to my share and will leave it at that.

If, in the future any better rips of the tracks comes to light, I can always swap them out.

 

On another note, again, not so important... is that not all the Capital tracks are Capital tracks! a few are SBI, Sunfly and KaraokeCloud.

 

Always remember that although I may seem "picky" it is all in the pursuit of better quality track collections.

 

Cheers!

 

Lee.

Hi leenew

I notice in your Mega upload (thank you!) there are no files in Priddis PR70xx

 

Also, do you keep you karaoke tracks that have lead vocals or delete them?

Hi Billy,

The collection is just the karaoke tracks. All full vocal tracks were deleted wherever they were spotted..

I also deleted tracks that had no graphics, and were ,in effect, just a backing track.

 

(If you need the vocal tracks, or the non-graphics tracks then go back to the DaveyDee collection instead...)

 

So, as to your question about Priddis 70xx...

Yep, you are right, I just have 7002, 7003 and 7004 folders and they are all empty.

I have just checked and it looks like this is because they all had no graphics on-screen. so were not karaoke tracks.

 

 

 

Thank you,

 

Lee.

Hi All I had a strange request last night for a song called 'My Girl's Pussy' by Ian Whitcomb. By all accounts it's about a cat. It's not available on Karafun I wonder if any of you good people have it or could make it for me. TIA

Believe it or not, this song is from the early 1930s!
