Can we no longer listen to smaples of the song first?? Cus I downloaded "Love at first sight" Mary J Blige feat Method man & it was less than half a song. It doesn't seem right to pay full for something like that. Also how do we know the song is accurate if we can't hear a sample first??

Well... these for the most part are not professional made midi's although, some are of that quality. So, there's really no guarantee of accuracy and there are sometimes copyright issues when they are... I'll happily take care of your monetary loss (...and then some) and see what I can do about the not-so-great midi for you... and a big clue as to whether it's a sample or not? The file size. 5.2 kb doesn't make for much more than a sample. A full size midi should be at least 20 kb or so and a well done midi will usually end up around 60-70kb+... Hope that helps.

hehe I don't blame you in the least for being disappointed.
I'd be disappointed too! Especially if I were only starting out and didn't have much $$ to begin with... I'd be a lil' concerned about attempting it again. I see that the file is professionally done so it is out there somewhere but you'd probably have to pay for it. Ya' might check out Fresh Midis (on our link for $$MB thread.) they currently have it on the wish list so they might have it before we get to it... and thanks for the mention if you see something like that again and are unsure feel free to report it to us so we can remove it so others don't attempt the same thing.

Before downloading a midi song, make sure to have a look at what others have said, if someone complains about a song not being complete chances are it isn't! Also look at the attachment size a normal file is at least 15KB anything smaller is probably incomplete.

Also you can make MB $$$ by posting, or by starting your own thread.
