TM Studios Song Search

I noticed TM Studios has shut off their online song search for members after discontinuing the HitDiscs last December. I did a download of all their Hitdisc releases by song in a type of Spreadsheet this past January. I'm glad I did that as well as recorded by hand in one of my old Top 40 Music On Compact Disc the Golddisc numbers I could find each of the songs on. Another end of an era in the music industry. On another note, I switched over to Promo Only and have been greatly satisfied in finding the hits for my radio stations that play currents in our cluster.

I subscribed to PrimeCuts from TM from 2005 until 2018
when I switched to Promo Only last December. I had
subscribed to Top Hits U.S.A. from 1994 to 2005. I often
use(d) the TM search to locate a song on one of my
PrimeCuts CD's as many of my clients tend to go below the
Top 40 for their song choices nowadays.

Gary, would you mind sharing your spreadsheet? Does it
also into the PrimeCuts discs? I didn't have access to the
HitDiscs until the beginning of 2016.

Other than New Music Server, what other services are there for radio these days? Do the labels still issue promo CDs (or have d/l sites)?

Promo Only still releases discs(I believe) once a month - but there is POOL from Promo Only which adds new music daily and with many different versions/Intro Edits which I have an app for on my desktop computer which I can download songs from. I chose POOL Audio Silver which covers most of the formats that TM Studios had plus more. We also have New Music Server and All access for music downloads as well. All Access helps us with our Active Rock station as POOL does not have that format.

Thanks Gary! You're a lifesaver!

Thanks a bunch for doing this - I had the Hitdiscs but not the Golddiscs. Much appreciated!
