Ron’s Hot 100 library

   Good question!

I'm not working on anything past 1999.  The biggest reason is that I find the music a lot less interesting than the older stuff.

A lesser reason is that my radio show doesn't play much past 1999, and I just don't need such an extensive library for the years 2000 and onward.

As a practical matter, I'm a subscriber to Top Hits USA (a weekly service for radio stations).  For all the tracks from 2000 onward, I just use the Top Hits USA versions of everything I need.  Those will provide me the hit versions (or what I consider to be the hit versions).  Although the mastering of the early Top Hits USA discs is questionable, from 2000 onward, the mastering is just fine (with the minor exception of a cue tone in the right channel at the end of every track).
