Does anyone know who owns Legends Series?? I read that they have been discontinued. Just wondering who has them now. |

Found a post where JoeChartreuse says that Legends is owned by Sunfly... that post was in 2008! Is Sunfly still producing? Doesn't Tricerasoft sell them? Always more questions than answers.... |

Unless they incorporated all the songs, there is no legends on Tricerasoft or Sunfly's sites. |

Legends was origianlly Sunfly's spawn. Whether they still are or not, I don't know. They don't produce anything new I know, Sunfly is still a major player though! |

Well I got a couple CD's last month off Ebay from two different sources. They are both new, stamped with the disc ID's on the bottom, and made in Taiwan. Go figure...Since were bringing up oddball new discs of out of business publishers on the market, what's the story with Dangerous? They have new 10 disc sets (DG01 thru DG10) out there on Ebay...

I own a lot of Legends discs. Some love them, some don't. I love them. A lot of very rich musical tracks. They produced, IMNSHO, the absolute epitome of "Georgia On My Mind". Nothing else comes close. Legends and DK were the "go to" brands of their time, before being outmarketed by others. While you always see me posting about DK, it's because they are the only brand specifically made to help amateur singers. Legends tracks are much richer and fuller sounding. They are best known for single artist discs, but they covered everything, and very well. As far as I know, they are OOB under that label. My last disc from them was, I think, LG241, which was Billy Idol & Cheap Trick. I think they made a few more after that, but not a lot. If you had the entire legends series, I think that you could run a quality show with just that, plus whatever new songs required by your singers that came out after. |

I think the difference between DK and LEG is that DK is for beginners.. it's flute track in the background helps the singer even if they don't notice it. Legends, on the other hand doesn't give the singer that 'cheat'... good tracks but some have trouble with them because they don't guide the singer... the singer should know the song pretty well first. My experience only |

Legends is Still owned by Sunfly. They Don't Produce Legends anymore but you can buy Sunfly Directly from them at this Website: http://www.sunflykaraoke.com/ They sell as downloads or on custom CD+G/DVD+G discs. They also sell a hard drive with all their music on it But ,you have to contact them directly about that. |

Legends were very sporadic in their quality which goes back to Sunfly bad quality days since they were the same tracks. |

Legends are just okay. Some better than others, but nothing to write home about. Lisah- there is no comparison to the professional music tracks that DK put out. The guide line isn't even audible in a bar setting. Only at home in a quiet room. Legends doesn't come close to the quality. |

The Unfortunate part is that DK is quite hard to find, and quite expensive, because of it. ALTHOUGH, Amazon sells two DK SCGs that make for about 1800 songs. Volume 1 is $68 and Volume 2 is $78. |

I'd beware those SCDG discs. Especially for that price, they are bootlegs. The DK Millenium set went for $999 - every song that was still licensable (approx 1800) from them. |

Just letting you know of possible legalities that may arise with any SCDG set. Plus the fact they are ripped at a really low bit rate so not very good quality sound if for any other reason. |
