July 22, 201113 yr Author The album information in the Mp3 packs says it's 'BJSC XXVI' ;) I know - sorry about that, I only noticed once both files had been uploaded and I wasn't about to waste another two hours uploading them again just to correct that. Easily editable though! What would BJSC be without the odd minor yet insignifcant error every month? :D

July 22, 201113 yr Author Yeah I've just done that :) I even went to the effort of downloading WinRar to be able to open this files! :P I suppose I just figured that everyone had that on their computer as standard now, most of the albums I download are .rar files these days!
July 22, 201113 yr Author Do you need a mp3 from me at all? If not, how did you get one? :o Got it from your Soundcloud - copied and pasted the link here: http://offliberty.com/ Lifesaver of a website :wub:
July 22, 201113 yr Author How does that work then? I don't think I'm understanding properly... Well it's a Soundcloud downloader basically (although is compatible with other music streaming sites I guess). I use it to download everything from Soundcloud which doesn't have a 'download' option.
July 22, 201113 yr Nothing personal to Rich or Hits, but why do people keep uploading the MP3 packs and putting the country in the song title? It does not help my tagging OCD and I have to remove them all before I can listen :(

It does not help my tagging OCD and I have to remove them all before I can listen :( It's been this way in all of the MP3 packs that I've downloaded before I think, I was just continuing the tradition! Life was so much easier before MP3 packs in BJSC, far less complaining - which is ironic considering the amount of time and effort they take to compile/tag! :lol:

It's my issue with tagging OCD I'm afraid :(

I had no idea such a thing existed (clearly). :o I've just tried it and the quality of the mp3 isn't bad either...
July 22, 201113 yr I have terrible tagging OCD as well, but the country names in titles don't bother me - it's just that if there's a featured artist they have to be credited in the title and NEVER in the artist e.g. Title - Heart Skips A Beat (ft. Rizzle Kicks) Artist - Olly Murs rather than Title - Heart Skips A Beat Artist - Olly Murs ft. Rizzle Kicks Strange I know :lol:
July 22, 201113 yr Author No no, don't get me wrong, I love the MP3 packs as they make life so much easier so don't take it personally! It's my issue with tagging OCD I'm afraid :( Fair enough, I find the country names next to the entries useful anyway personally as I know whose entry I'm listening to/want to vote for without having to reference something else. I sometimes delete them post contest, but then I always delete the songs I'm never likely to listen to again :lol: I'm quite OCD with tagging too in terms of everything must have a title, name, picture etc...but this doesn't bother me - perhaps because with the Eurovision compilations the country name is next to the entries so I sort of treat it like that! I had no idea such a thing existed (clearly). :o I've just tried it and the quality of the mp3 isn't bad either... I stumbled across it a few months ago - it's how I got the MP3 for my own entry last month too - much better quality than converting a Youtube video. I must apologise that the MP3's are all of differing bitrate, basically I searched Google for each entry and if I couldn't find an MP3 link then I used Off Liberty or in a few cases did an HQ Youtube conversion. In some cases I even had to edit the MP3 with Audacity - the Princess song for example, I question whether an MP3 of it even exists :lol: So I did an HQ conversion of the music video and chopped off the 30 seconds of silence at the start with Audacity and then converted to MP3. Why can't everybody just send entries that are easily Google-a-ble and on Mediafire :P

In that instance, it would be; Track: Heart Skips A Beat ft.

Thing is, with Eurovision entries it doesn't bother me :lol: I don't know why, now I try and explain it it sounds a bit weird lol.

Rizzle Kicks Strange I know :lol: I do the opposite :lol: I hate seeing any artist names in the song titles! I have 'Jennifer Lopez feat Pitbull' as the artist as opposed to 'On The Floor (feat Pitbull)' as the song. That's another thing with me - I always write featuring as 'feat'! I haven't actually done all of the tags like that in the packs though, I left most of them as they came!

Oh I CAN'T do that, because with the likes of Last.FM, it won't track all your listens for one artist properly!

Rizzle Kicks Artist: Olly Murs I must be :lol: It just seems to me then as if the song is actually called 'Heart Skips A Beat ft. Rizzle Kicks' rather than 'Heart Skips A Beat' which sounds weird but that's how my tagging OCD goes. :(
July 22, 201113 yr Oh I CAN'T do that, because with the likes of Last.FM, it won't track all your listens for one artist properly! More importantly it classes them as separate artists on ipods which is just unacceptable for artist shuffle purposes.
