How do I order an item in the music catalog (database)?
- D.J. Rhythms is a non-commercial site. Nothing is sold via DJ Rhythms. In fact, no one at this site personally owns many of the items listed in the catalog. The items listed in the DJR Music Catalog are for informational purposes only, i.e. to help you know about music releases. Some of the items might currently be available for sale by music retailers or might be found in used record/cd shops. Much of the material listed in this database is out-of-print and is not readily available for sale. Certain items (promotional releases, dj remix services) in the catalog are available for sale only to professional disc jockeys. Here are suggestions for pursuing the purchase of items in the catalog:
- Consult with your local record shop.
- Check the catalogs of retail music shops on the Net. The D.J. Rhythms Links Catalog - retail music stores section is a great place to start.
- Consult with dance music specialty and disc jockey stores. The D.J. Rhythms Stores Directory will get you started.
- Some out-of-print items may be found by digging around and inquiring in used record/CD stores. Some of them are mentioned in the D.J. Rhythms Stores Directory and there are hundreds or thousands more in the U.S. alone. Check the Yellow Pages for your area, or, use an online version (see: Telephone Directories on the Web).
- Post the tracks you're looking for on a mailing list or bulletin board oriented toward the music genera you are interested in.
- Search online auction sites such as EBay. (Please be careful when you shop from unknown individuals.
- Check for ads in music magazines (Dance Music Authority, DJ, Goldmine, etc.)
- DJ Rhythms editor's note: the music industry, is being greatly hurt by the illegal distribution and copying of music. If you don't support and buy dance music, then there won't be any decent dance music!
Please send me the lyrics for ...
- Song lyrics are copyrighten. Publishing them over the Internet without permission from the copyright holder is a violation of the law. Therefore, we do not maintain a library of lyrics for distribution.
- The Australian Music Charts site encountered problems with this very issue. Certainly no harm was intended and we do hope the webmaster there was not punished.
Please email me all (or some part of) the DJR music catalog.
