Playing Music before service starts

[worshipgal]

I need to know where people get their music that they play before service starts?

Is there 1 place that I can go and get songs that I can play in Audie in Media Shout. I use Itunes and am getting frustrated with them only making it so the songs only work on ipods. I can't even most of them using another program!

well-with iTunes you can also burn the music you purchased to a cd. Which you could then play back at church, I suppose...

I burn iTunes to a CD and then rip the music off of the CD with Windows MediaPlayer. Then sometimes use a program called Switch to convert it to an mp3 if I want an mp3.

We have someone that just loves old (and I mean really old, never heard of) hymns and plays them on an organ before service.

www.songtouch.com offers downloads of Christian songs
they're DRM, but play through WMP,
and therefore should play through MS

I just play from itunes...

We use commercially bought CDs for pre service music. No need to use the computer just the CD player into the sound board.

The tech operator just started doing it last week. It was... different. I'm not sure yet how I feel about it. He just used CDs.

how about plugging an ipod into your board?

I usually create my own CD's by recording the piano separately out of an AUX channel during praise and worship. It makes for a nice clean piano instrumental version our favorite songs.

If you can buy a itunes plus song then it should play in media shout. It is suppose to be a higher quality recording with out the protection on it. We have both a CD player and a iPod dock hooked up.

I just play off of the computer, an iPod, or (gasp) CDs. But I'm not trying to integrate that with anything else like the words program, so no problems.
