All my collection of worship songs & hymns are together here in a large zip
SONGS.ZIP
to download right click on "songs.zip" and choose "save file as" or "save target as" and choose where to put it.
It's a colection, so it's not tidy - you will need to poke around to
look for songs especially hymns - most of the midis are in "all hymns
combined", and to use them on older floppies the file names are
truncated to 8 characters but most make sense.
for songs top 100+ tend to be 80s -90s stuff (one of thier first
collections) and "heart of worship" later 90s and early noughties, From
David are the ones David from upney recorded for us (before martin's
time)., and there are some in "new downloads"
There are some more in the disk from Trinity URC - for theses look
through the index file, which will tell you the disk number and file
number - the files are not named according to the hymns.
Midi can be played directly on the computer, although the sound quality
is better on the midi machine, and you can alter speed, take out
various accompaniments, set markers to repeat, and even transpose
(Instructions are in the inner cupboard behind the organ, left shelf,
near door).
To play on the machine copy to floppy disk (remember them? ) in order that they are required during the service.
On MP3 there are "60 timesless hymns" on mp3 - they have vocals, some
songs from spring harvest with vocals, and a few oddments. Thses are
played just by clicking the title and it comes up in windows media
player.
A tip - I tend to colect everything for a given service in one folder
named according to the date (month first so the whole year is in
numerical order (date format is one of the few things the yanks have
got right :-) ). Easy worship file, any powerpoints and videos embedded
in easy worhsip, and of course any Midi and mp3 files we need to use.
Joe just finds the appropriate titles, but to make it even easier you
could rename each file eg 01 at the strat of the first itme
required in the service, 02 at the start of the second etc so they line
up in order in the directory.
DM music's page "worship downloads.com" has a huge collection now,
at just over a quid each, with many titles on midi or mp3 as
required.
Also amazon downloads has christian music - this is where I got
the song Annie chose last week. - about 69p per download -
it uses it's own download software and places it in a directory called
amazon - took me a while to figure out what it had done.
with notice, we can get alomost anything in commmon use.
I've not had the time to complile a straightforward list, but given any title a quick trawl through the directories
