Logic would then tell you (being a programmer myself) that the decoder for zipped files in vdj is just crap ! This was also the comment of Djcell at the time, and I was assured in time it would be fixed. This was actually proven as all the mp3+g`s that didnt load into vdj in fact loaded ok in winamp (sax & dotty) pcdj, clubdj/pro and most other packages. After much lengthy discussion, with djcell it was agreed that the problem laid with the mp3g decoder in vdj. Ok listen up, going back some months now all the way back to ver 3.4 we had the same problem, being that not all zipped mp3+g files would load into vdj. One other problem might occur if the files inside the zips are not labeled properly, you could end up with thousands of similar disks names thereby overwriting them (with assent given) and losing the data.īack up and test small groups, but I think the procedure outlined in my blog will do the job for free, this is a known issue across multiple programs that do karaoke professionally.Īs and afterthought, you could NOT unzip them until a singer requests them, then copy them to a special folder on your desktop, and perform the action as needed. You should be able to unilaterally unzip all files and then re-compress them if the zips are in one folder, however, if you have the folders separated by disc number, then it becomes exponentially more difficult. You can't use "MAXIMUM" you have to use the default settings (I think it is a 5 out of 10) The problem that you are experiencing IS the compression ratio you use.

He’s so melodic and at the same time so lyrical. Sophisticated saxophone of the first order His playing is warm, but most of all it’s swinging and lush as well as full. Stan takes us south to Brazil in one of the most evocative solos he ever conjured. Duke Ellington with Paul Gonsvales – ‘Diminuendo in Blue’įrom the very first note you’re hooked. If you know someone that doubts that Wayne is a genius, just play them this.ġ1.

Dexter Gordon – ‘Stairway To The Stars’Ī standard, yes, but in Dexter’s hands it becomes something so much more than just, ‘a standard’. He was taken from us all too early, as this tune testifiesĨ. Sonny’s signature piece was included here for the first time on this album. ‘Trane loved to play ballads (and it would have been too easy to pick something from A Love Supreme) but this says everything about his deft touch, his lightness of being.

So perfect that it sounds different every time you hear it.

This is Adderley with Miles Davis and it is arguably one of the greatest jazz records of all time. He is cushioned, but he is leading the charge in the softest, sexiest way imaginable. Every not is perfect, as though Stan the Man is being directed by some higher being, en route to heaven.īird + Strings = perfection, and this song is as perfect as it gets.
