About:
soundclips
With respect to their purpose there are two kinds of
soundclips on this website:
1. for about 1.5% of the lyrics 5-25 seconds soundclips are
available of a very specific part of the song. These
soundclips are created by the webmaster of this website and
contain those parts of the song for which the lyrics are
unknown or in question. These soundclips are all in
Real Audio format and
located on the host server of this website at
fortunecity.com. They serve the purpose of determining the
exact text of the specific part of the lyrics they represent
by giving the visitor/listener the opportunity to listen to
them an e-mail the webmaster suggestions on their actual
textual content.
2. for about 60% of the lyrics 30-35 seconds soundclips are
available. The purpose of these soundclips is to give the
visitor/listener an impression of the actual musical
performance and interpretation of the lyrics the soundclip
is associated with. These soundclips are almost all - 97%+ -
in Real Audio format. These soundclips are all located on
the servers of online music stores like CDNow,
Musicboulevard, Tunes.com, CDUniverse, Amazon, etc. On this
website there are only links to these soundclip on the
servers of these aforementioned sites. The links are
established through so called *.ram files which contain the
path to the actual soundclip files on the third parties
servers, the *.ra files. For reasons of reliability on the
basis of practical experience the *.ram files are located on
the fortunecity.com server for this website.
Note: the soundclip version of a song doesn't
necessarily have to be the same as the lyrics version of
that song.
About:
printing
For the layout of this website I've chosen for an appealing
look (and no, this is not open for debate ;-)) above
printer optimized "black on white" pages. It's a small price
to pay for what you get in return I hope. So how best to
print pages or part of pages, quick and easy?. Here's my
advise: use a program that's part of the Windows package,
its called Notepad,
its located in the accessories folder and the c:\windows
directory on your hard disk.
The instructions down below might look intimidating at first
glance but trust me, once you done it, its a peace of cake
the next time!. The names of the Notepad program and the
folders vary with each language version of Windows, I've
chosen the English language version for these
instructions.
TIP practice on this
page right away, while you're reading the instructions.
