**EDIT** I also note that Music Maestro released 3 subsequent Elvis Presley discs that were not included on MMVE3

These are:

MM6414 - Elvis 50s & 60s

MM6415 - Elvis, the silver screen

MM6431 - In & Out of love with Elvis

Maybe we could make a Velvet Elvis 4 🙂

 

Hi, Lee, in my VELVET ELVIS collection there are 35 cds, 33 is MM6414, 34 is MM6415, 35 is MM6431... regards

Hi BJ,

 

All advice is welcome!

Yeah, you will find the full 2TB of files is in MP3+CDG format 🙂

I did explain way-back-when why I was doing it this way...

While I am working on these collections it is unavoidable.

 

Re-tagging/checking/swapping faulty .cdg files/ bulk editing etc. etc. I have to work with unzipped files.

As do we all :)

Some of the programs I use won't deal with zips.

That's the same wih me.

Also, I have found many errors simply by unzipping the files in the first place!

Well that will have been a function of storage and/or transport, nowadays I meticulously check all ZIP and

RAR files that I get especially those from MEGA ~~ which I have found especially unreliable on large

downloads. Invariably when I DL from MEGA I find errors on individual files wthin the Zips, which I then

have to go back to MEGA and download individually to replace those that were found to be bad ~ and

twice I've found the replacements need to be replaced when I have checked them .

 

Checking is the name of the game every time.

 

When receiving ZIP files from other people I find that the best way of checking them is to immediately

extract the content from them uisng MP3+GToolz - which will stop every time it finds an error and I then

have to click [OK] for the prog to carry on.  I have MP3+GToolz set to delete the Zip after extraction, so

that once it's has finished I have a directory full of MP£s and CDGs - together with all of the ZIPs which

had errors.

 

Often I'll find that those errors were caused by extra files in the Zip and that the music and GFX are OK,

many times I've found extra Zips INSIDE the zip :)

I guess once my work is done (!) I could zip everything back up, but in the meantime, everything is MP3+CDG and I will leave it up to people to decide whether they want to re-zip them if they take some files.

I'm looking at a few things:

A;  You could store more on MEGA by using compressed files.

B;  It would take you less time to upload files toMEGA.

C; It would take downloaders less time to get the files.

*Of course, you can't save space by zipping an MP3, it is just the .CDG that compresses, but as you say, these squash down by a fair bit.*

Lee.

 

Sorry Lee, But you're wrong there the MP3 files can compress by a small amount, here are DIR text

printouts of the first three songs in a multi-gigabyte directory that I'm currently working on::

 

CDG first:

Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp>dir *.cdg
 Volume in drive Y is Y: 8TB Kworkdisc
 Volume Serial Number is 8AB6-B973

 Directory of Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp

21/04/2014  02:18           1,221,600 KV - Andrews Sisters - I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time.cdg
21/04/2014  02:19           1,624,800 KV - Calvin Harris - You Used To Hold Me.cdg
05/08/2013  00:59         1,222,560 KV - Ronettes - Be My Baby.cdg
               3 File(s)      4,068,960 bytes

 

MP3 next:

Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp>dir *.mp3
 Volume in drive Y is Y: 8TB Kworkdisc
 Volume Serial Number is 8AB6-B973

 Directory of Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp

28/06/2021  21:16           2,717,107 KV - Andrews Sisters - I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time.mp3
28/06/2021  21:16           3,611,457 KV - Calvin Harris - You Used To Hold Me.mp3
05/08/2013  00:59         2,717,987 KV - Ronettes - Be My Baby.mp3
               3 File(s)      9,046,551 bytes

 

Now separately Zipped cdgs & mp3s:

Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp>dir *.zip
 Volume in drive Y is Y: 8TB Kworkdisc
 Volume Serial Number is 8AB6-B973

 Directory of Y:\_KV\KV no ##\tmp

25/01/2025  21:27             360,624 KV cdg test.zip
25/01/2025  21:26         8,886,053 KV mp3 test.zip
               2 File(s)      9,246,677 bytes

 

As you can see, the MP3 files total 9,046,551 bytes, and together they compress to

9,246,677 bytes, OK not a great deal but still something when added to the much

greater reduction for the CDG files.

 

As you can see it's well worth the compression just for the reduction that you get

with the CDG files from 9.046MB to 360KB.

 

I'm not trying to tell you how to share with the rest of us, just mentioning that you

could be sharing rather more than you are now with the 2TB limit, which you have

mentioned now and then in the past.
