Zoom, although I am unhappy with my last Zoom Purchase. The song I bought the disc for didn't include the whistling in the backing track. I guess it's good for those that can whistle but for me it means any version I do is minus the whistles.

Zoom first, Sunfly next, and then SBI.
Zoom is often one I'll choose over any manus. I particularly like their Fleetwood Mac.

Zoom, SBI, Sunfly - typically in that order. Although there are a couple others that seem to be ok as well, Abraxa (I think also a subsidiary of SBI), Mr. Entertainer. But I have found on occasion that several of those manus seem to use the same exact music so either they work together or others are taking it for their own, I would like to think they are working together on occasion.

SBI then Sunfly for the newest music.

Zoom for the slightly older stuff...their newer music seems "off" to me.

Interesting, I haven't bought any new music in a while.. Maybe i should because I've had several people saying they didn't like the zoom products they bought

But out of all the Zoom tracks I have purchased, both on disk and in downloads, I have only had 1 bad track.

Also Zoom is my hands down favourite because I have a letter from them stating that as far as they are concerned, they don't have a problem with my transfering their tracks to hard drive, providing i keep the original discs with me.

So as long as the bar bar pays the performance fees, as far as I can tell, I'm 100% legal for all my zoom tracks.


Sunfly for me has been hit and miss. Most of their tracks are pretty decent but I have gotten my share of clunkers.. Plus their digital downloads are at 128Kbs. I would prefer 192 if not higher.


SBI is my second favourite UK manufacturer. Good quality music, 192kbs downloads AND a buttload of titles not available anywhere else.

Zoom is one of my favorite brands. I don't like Sunfly at all, and have no experience with SBI.

My number one choice would have been DK, had it been included.

Sunfly is 95% asked for.
Zoom is a better track most not all of the time
but singers have been brought up on Sunfly over here.
They prefer to sing to what they are used to.
Even if the Zoom version is far superior.

"You can't sit in that chair... Molly sits there"
People can get a bit stayed in their ways.
Zoom is probably more acceptable over the pond.
