How can I search for individual titles, how does the search engine work?

The new Casa Trackfilter is very extensive, is able now to search for individual songs and albums and has additional new search criteria.

  • To search for tracks, please switch the search engine from albums to individual tracks.
  • please wait until the search engine has displayed all songs before entering your search criteria. Depending on your computer and internet connection, this can be faster or slower.
  • Only when all songs / video clips / albums / books have been loaded can the search engine can find the right songs for you from the entire repertoire.
  • If you enter too much search information so that no result is obtained, the search engine switches to either / or mode. The search results then contain either parameter A or B.

 

How do I find the top 10 of the individual dances?

You have the option of determining a top ten (or top 100) for each dance:

  • Enter a dance in the filter for 'Title Search'
  • Sort the results by 'Most Wanted'

... and the top 100 of the respective dance will be displayed to you! You can sort video clips or other products in the same way.

 

How do I go directly to a title in the list of selected songs in alphabetical order, the first letter of which is in the middle, without having to scroll through all the pages one after the other?

You can browse front to back or back to front. Unfortunately, an alphabet index is not possible because you can change the preprogrammed display (in alphabetical order of the search results) to other sorting criteria (e.g. length, date of publication, most wanted) that are not sorted alphabetically.

 

According to which genres are the music titles sorted?

For better orientation we have divided music titles into different music genres. The decisive factor was "what it sounds like" and not what genre the performer actually comes from. Therefore, for example, "dance orchestras" that sound like pop music are listed as "pop" and pop music with a large orchestra as "orchestra".

 

What do the additions in the Paso Doble names mean?

For many dancers, the type of phrasing in the Paso Doble is important. Due to the length of 30 seconds of our audio samples, the phrasing cannot be recognized from the audio samples. Therefore the phrasing is indicated in the title display:

  • No addition = no recognizable phrasing
  • 2 Beat Phrasing = recurring phrases over 2 beats (1-2)
  • 4 Beat Phrasing = recurring phrases over 4 beats (1-2-3-4)
  • 8 Beat Phrasing = recurring phrases over 8 beats (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8)
  • 3 highlights = three highlights in the usual place
  • 'Espana Cani' related, 3 highlights or 2 highlights = A phrasing similar to “Espana Cani” with 3 highlights or a short version with 2 highlights
  • 'Espana Cani' Phrasing, 3 highlights or 2 highlights = the exact phrasing of the “Espana Cani” with 3 highlights or short version with 2 highlights
  • no 'Espana Cani' Phrasing = none of the “Espana Cani” similar or identical phrasing
  • Intro, 'Espana Cani' phrasing, 3 highlights = Paso Doble with an additional short introduction

 

What does “No strict tempo” mean in the article name?

It means that the track does not have a uniform tempo, but a changing speed.

 

Do you allow to use your music for classes, competitions & parties?

Yes, we allow to use our music commercially for lessons, competitions and parties.

However, sometimes the notification emails end up in the spam folder or come back to us undelivered as spam.

  • Enter your e-mail address
  • Enter your password
  • Click on "My Account"
  • Click on “My Downloads”.
  • Click a song to download
  • Select the folder you want to save it in
  • Start the download

 

When buying complete albums or videos, is there an option to download all titles or chapters at once?

Yes. We combine complete music / video download albums for you in a ZIP file. Please wait before downloading your ZIP file has been created.

 

How do I open the zip file?

We have complete download albums ready for you as ZIP files. You can download all the tracks on an album at once with one download. The ZIP file format (from English "zipper ”) is a format for losslessly compressed files in which several music tracks that belong together can be combined.

You can open ZIP files by decompressing them using a decompressor (e.g. 7-Zip or winzip). Start the decompressor program from the start menu or via the desktop shortcut. Open the zipped file by clicking "File> Open".

 

Why is it not possible for me to download, the download has expired?

We generally provide three downloads of each title. If it was downloaded three times, the link has expired.

Please note that direct downloads to some mobile devices (e.g. iPhone / iPad) are not possible for technical reasons ("closed systems"). In this case, the downloads can be downloaded to a PC (or to a cloud) and transferred to the mobile device during the next synchronization.

  • If you have bought a complete album, the individual tracks are combined in a ZIP folder so that you do not have to download each song individually. This will take a few seconds. Please wait with the download until your ZIP folder has been created.
  • Please pay attention to your storage location and sufficient storage space.
  • Please make sure that the destination folder does not have an excessively long name or that it is not in a deep level as a subfolder.
  • Please do not start multiple download processes at the same time
  • Please do not close the browser during the download
  • Please avoid any other work on the PC while the download is in progress

 

Does the same principle apply to DVDs (DVD only) for CD purchases (CD only) where the mp3 files are available for download immediately after purchase? Are the mp4 files available for download immediately after purchase?

Yes (exception: the “World Superstar Dance Festival” DVD series)

 

How can I play my purchased mp3 music tracks or mp4 videos?

  • Once the download song is in the folder on your computer, you can play it with your audio player on your PC.
  • If you want to play your song / video on your mobile phone or tablet, you can transfer the downloads to your mobile device the next time you sync.

 

Has the file labeling of the downloads changed in the new shop?

Yes, we changed the file labeling. Since we now also offer complete albums, we are now delivering the tracks in the order of the original albums. We put the metadata in the tags of the mp3 files, as we assume that the common metadata will be read out by most players and programs - so that everyone can sort their songs according to their taste. If you want to rename your old mp3 files, we recommend the "Total Commander", with which you can rename the songs in batches. Alternatively, you can use the “Mp3Tag” program, which you can use to transfer the metadata of the mp3 files to the file name using the appropriate formula. Again, you can proceed in batches.
