SwingDJs

Well, I'm the first to admit that I'm a dumbass on a computer, but what can you do to screw up media files? All I ever did with these is stick them in a playlist and burn CDs... I'm using XP -you don't think Sony would sneak something into one of their automatic updates??? OK, I hate my Viao, I'm su...

Well, i tried opening another dead E-music file with another program and couldn't find it. then I seached my C drive for the name of the song and couldn't find...

very frustrating...I still suspect this is a Sony issue because they don't like downloaded music...

Thanks for the quick responses! :) I've been installing demo versions of DJ programs and music managers, but i don't think i've used the files that are now unavailable. what's really weird is that when I try to delete the old files that Music Match says are unavailable, i get a message that say that...

OK, this my first potential problem with E-music:

Have you found that since the change to VBR, some of your old E-music tracks are not working?

If not, I'll suspect that my SONY computer is behind this...

Those of you Mac users (read: sensible computer people) can use DJ-1800 - it basically recreates a Denon 1800 4-disc CD player/mixer like those they use at a LOT of clubs. Someone with the software should play with this and see if it works nicely. Man, this does look sweet. If you have a mac, I can...

Whoa, big difference. I A/B-ed a bunch of tracks and would have no trouble telling them apart...

Just to dig on the mac folks; Besides the cost, what convinced me to go PC for the laptop is that my girlfriend's home mac won't burn CDs anymore, her work mac's hard drive just crashed after less than two years and she has so many problems with her mac notebook that -as we speak- she is desperately...

Just got this today; I'll re-download some of the unDJ-able stuff from the past and report on whether it's any better. Dear EMusic subscriber, I'm pleased to inform you of a number of significant enhancements to your EMusic service. In response to the MANY requests from subscribers, we have increase...

Don't think it's Basie, definately not "Swingin' On Nothin'," Ya you're right... that riff at the beginning just had me thinking of that song... But it's definitely not. The piano player still has me thinking Basie, though. I still think it's Basie; the rhythm section and the solo sound l...

Score!
Just one of the reasons I love you Rayned. You are the man!

Here are questions about 2 other songs: I have an unlabeled version of "St. louis blues" that sounds like Jimmy Rushing, but (to my knowledge) isn't. It sounds like it was recorded in the 1950+ era so I'm pretty sure it isn't Basie/Rushing. It's a small blues-swing group and the tempo is a...

Reminds me of "Dance of the gremlins" (Basie). It's the same basic riff without as much counter mellody so I'm wondering if you have an earlier version of it when it might have even had a different name...?

I really like "Live at the rainbow room". It's part of the yale concert series of BG recordings. I just played "Honey suckle Rose" at NADC.

Good or evil? Evil, but inspirational. 1). I'd like to see musicians paid for what they do. 2). I'd love to see anyone who wants to be a musician have access to distributing their music and selling (or giving) it to consumers. 3). I'd love to see recod companies get enlightened and focus on developi...

How do you guys feel about flying to event as a bonus/convenience? I'm always happy when I don't have to drive, so I often think of airfare as part of my "payment". If a DJ is local, should they get the same total cash value as the person who flies in? For example, if I fly DJ X in to New ...
