Briles Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I was gutted when I fixed my PC and reloaded windows '98, only to find that the KTF website has 'gone'. I really enjoyed that site and it would be really handy to check out some of the tunes in the Djing thread with tunes under 20 quid. In fact I could spend all saturday souling as her in doors is off to the Bull Ring shopping ! I know about Soul Club, but are there any other similar sites peeps can point me to ? Thanks Dave P.S. I also spent ages loading Winamp and other plugins, so that I could change files from Real Audio to MP3 format to burn 'em onto discs for the car, grrrrr.

Simsy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 When that site closed, I did a thread about it and someone said that it was still possible to access those KTF sounds. Also soul club sounds are (apparently) downloadable, although I've not quite figured out how to do that. There is one other site as well, but I'd have to PM you about that as they offer dodgy bootlegs and that can't be mentioned here. Will find original thread and post Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'd appreciate the pm if you don't mind, any more info would be welcome. Edited May 4, 2005 by Briles Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'd appreciate the pm if you don't mind, any more info would be welcome. link Did the above link not work? After I did that thread someone else did something similar and it was this quote from Alison that says about still getting access to KTF sounds; KTF Audio is still active though (I do the regular Thursday XO sets), which was one of the groups used to collate some of the sounds on KTFDownload. Only problem being that the tracks are no longer archived due to a change a while ago in Yahoo's policy so you need to be on the mailing list to receive them. link Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest alison Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 To subscribe simply send an email to ktfaudio-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. 6 days of regular and guest posters, all with a different slant on soul music, plus a free for all Sunday when all members chuck tunes into the pot. As previously mentioned, the tracks are no longer archived, but all you get is 6-8 tunes plus some feedback comment in your inbox, and if too busy you can simply save the RA's to your files and listen later....or indeed delte the ones that arent of interest to you. Group is also very helpful at providing good quality MP3's and fulfilling individual requests, even for very hard to find tackle. Hope this helps.

If I try at the moment that just have the 'e' icon which is no use to man nor beast. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 OK it's a ram file - I can convert ram to mp3 or whatever but I don't think I can convert ram to ra, someone will know how to though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I thought the soul club stuff was already rm's Ian - if not, what are they, any idea? link Yeah they probably are. But if you drag one off to the desk top you get that irritating e icon that, as I say you can't do cock all with. There is another procedure to download them properly and then convert them. That's seems to be a bit of a mystery, well til Chalky gets home from work Off 4 a sarn TBC ... ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The one I wanted was the Fidels - Try a little harder - which is a real audio media file which I can't convert, and would be grateful of help changing this format to MP3. Pete-S pls ? Thanks Dave.

Pete S Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 OK here's the Fidels. This sounds to me like it's off the DJM reissue from 1977 as it's quite a dull mix compared to the original and the one that came out on Jayboy. I remember this was the record I'd paid most money for ever in 1975 - £1.50! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 It's playing silly buggers, I attached the file but it's not sent it up, Dave do you want me to email it to you? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ian Please could you try that Fidels file, and tell me it's cool :-) Dave B link Running out of lunch hour here for listenings etc - back to covert postings Pete-S to the rescue (above) by the looks of things. So glad to have cracked that download thing though. Breakthrough at last without asking Chalky, owe him many pints already for tracks I have already mooched Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Simsy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Fek spoke to soon :- "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play". I'll crack it some way, some how Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
