The MP3s are fine for deciding what you want and that's their only purpose. They're not what you bought, per se. The software uses your selections to then extract the audio off the CD track as a WAV file--excellent sound quality on the CD and the same on your PC. Of course, the file can be large; your choice at that point to use the WAV file or turn it into whatever quality MP3 (or whatever) file you want to use.
So, in my (limited) experience the sound quality for the BackTraxx is just fine, as good as almost anything you'd pull off any other commercial recording.

As always, thanks for all your help!

Hi,
I have BackTraxx 2 and BackTraxx 1 will arrive on Monday. It is great stuff as the others have said. I've also got a couple of the StackTraxx packs. I expect to use these tools a lot as I start marketing shows. Digital Juice stuff is top shelf!
As far as capturing songs from online radio, use of the songs in shows will still be a copyright violation so keep that in mind.

Something else you need to understand about BackTraxx is that you're not buying CDs of music, per se. This isn't stuff that you'd put on to listen to, well, you could but it would be weird You're buying lots and lots of audio clips, 5sec to a couple minutes or so. It's specifically for just the kind of use you intend for it -- audio background to video. That, in my mind, is where the "secret" value comes from--every one of the clips is a potential fit somewhere.
Catch their special sale and you get 25-30 CDs worth of such clips for <$100. Pennies per track and royalty free. That's why it's reasonable at the regular price and a real bargain at their sale price.

DJ has a Tuesday Special on Back Traxx for $99. I'm listening to some of the sample tracks, but I'm not quite convinced. The quality of the tracks aren't too impressive quality-wise.. However, there is a disclaimer that says "All tracks have been reduced in overall quality for demonstration purposes." How much of a difference is it after you bought it?
Yanis
Tuesday Special? Do you mean every Tuesday?

Hi Jenn,
The Digital Juice specials are pretty random in nature. Your best bet, IMO, is to go to their website and sign up for their newsletter. The newsletter will inform you of whatever item or items are on sale for that day. I acquired one of the Editor's toolkit, a three pack of StackTraxx, both of the BackTraxx packages, all on sale days. I even received $25 gift certificates with the two BackTraxx packages. I just finished a Producer show where I used all of these tools. You can review their various products on their website and make a list of what you want, then watch the sales.

Thanks Jim.
I did sign up for their newsletter several weeks ago, but I never received the email from them for me to confirm. I also added their address to my "friends" list in email. We use MailWasher which catches our email before it is sent from the server to our inbox, but it also contains a lot of spam so why not this one???

Yeah, but you still need to actually listen to them to get a feel. My problem now is that over the years I've purchased so many royalty free music sets that picking a song is almost the longest part of creating a show.
