eh, it has to be that version unfortunately.

I tried the download, but it's in a format none of my audio programs recognize... if you convert it to mp3, I might be able to help.... MIGHT.

I've seen and heard of mp4 but what is a m4p?

L.W.

MP4 is a digital format similar to MP3, However, besides being able to encode and compress audio files, it is also used to encode and compress multimedia files that can contain video images, still photos, streaming audio and video and even subtitles.

I downloaded the file, but it's extension is m4p and even though I changed it to mp4, when I tried to convert it, it tells me the file is damaged. Not sure what's up with it.

Are they not itune AAC file and are drm copy protected.?

Yup, m4p is the copyright protected format of itunes/apple. I guess, you are out of luck... sorry.

here's the unprotected file (take that DRM)

I'm sure Jeff Daniels would be able to create a backing track for you... I get most of my backings from him and they really are of a high quality. His custom tracks usually are around USD$65.

You can contact Jeff here:

$65? eh, no can do

I think you need to choose one of the many other versions of this song and work with it. You obviously don't want it badly enough to pay for it so why would someone waste hours of their time to make it for you for free? The Martina McBride & Dean Martin version doesn't sound half bad to me. There's no acoustic guitar in it but it's available.

well i didn't think it would take hours of someones time. Thanks anyways though guys

I've made several karaoke tracks for myself and they can be very time consuming to get them just right. Removing the vocals can sometimes be done in a timely fashion but rarely can this be done to the satisfaction of most people. There always seems to be some residual vocals remaining. Getting the lyrics swipes timed right can be especially difficult when trying to do it on a song that you're not really familiar with.
