FAQ
1)
I tried to download a song, but it is not
working. Can you tell me how I can
download a song ?
Sorry,
The Songs are not downloadable by
design. Please see the Disclaimer above.
Therefore please Do NOT e-mail us asking
instructions to download
2)
Why cant you just let us download? Other
Sites allow it !
Other
sites may have a different agenda than Us.
We do not believe in distributing
copyrighted material. You may listen to
any song for evaluation purposes. We do
not wish to be the next Napster. Our only
intention is to promote Malayalam

Can I purchase songs or mp3's from you
?
We
do NOT offer any cassettes, CD's or
mp3's for sale. You can buy the featured
songs from Online Indian stores. A search
in Yahoo or other major search engines
will provide a list of sites that offer
songs for sale.

Why are you spending so much time, money
and other resources if you are not making

I tried to search for Songs by Yesudas and
I only got a few. Don't you have
more?

we have specified in the Search

Yesudas, KSC for K.S Chithra and MGS for
M.G Sreekumar.

When I go into a directory all files are
selected. Is there a way to get around
it?
Yes,
If you scroll to the bottom of the page,
you can click on 'none' and it will
deselect all the songs for you. Now you
can select the songs you want.
8)
Is there a listing of all the songs, Where
I can look through your collections
without clicking all the folders
?
Yes,
Of course, Index
of All
Clips
is an alphabetical listing of all the
songs in this site.
9)
When I am listening to a song I get
disconnected, and when I do get connected
again my real player says cant open the
location ........ file not found, why is
that ?
The
site was updated and the location
information is no longer valid. You need
to select the songs again from our site.
These updates are done often for security
reasons. We appreciate your co-operation

of Malayalam music to you.

?
You

fails to do so, simply refresh the

filled and just enter the password. You
may also check out our discussion under

Why do I get a warning from Norton
anti-virus about executing some scripts
?
Newer
versions of Norton anti-virus has a
feature called script-blocking. It may
prevent some scripts from being executed.
If this is your scenario, check out
Nortons site for more details.

Instructions
Listening
Experience
All
Songs are our originals and not from
another site. Encoded in Real Audio (*.ra)
16kbs/Stereo. You must have the latest
version of Real
Player
(Real Player Basic is free) installed and
properly configured in order to listen to
the songs. Help with Real Player is
available from their website. Your
listening experience depends on your
computers physical memory, Internet
connection speed, processor speed, sound
card and speakers. Low system resources
such as low in memory can seriously
degrade the quality of Real Audio. Some
symptoms of low memory playback are high
pitch, screechy noise, clipping noise etc.
Almost 90% of the clips presented on this
site are recorded from cassette tapes. Not
all tapes are created equal, therefore not
all clips offer the same quality. Notably,
some of the tapes I bought from Kerala
suffers from abuse and neglect of local
shops using it to playback/record prior to
the sale. All songs were originally
recorded in 44khz wave(*.wav) format and
then converted to Real Audio (*.ra). Also
Note that, Real Audio is almost a 1/100
compression of the original wave file.
Search
Instructions
The
Music page provides a search function for
your convenience. You may use this search
to get a movie-wise, poet-wise,
artist-wise etc. ... list of songs.
Acronyms were used to identify songs to
it's artists. For the artist-wise search,
use the following acronyms.
KJY
- Yesudas, KSC - K.S. Chithra, MGS - M G
Sreekumar. An example will be a search for
" KJY " will result in list of songs by
Yesudas. A Search for Yesudas may also
provide additional songs. If you are not
sure how to spell in Manglish, try typing
part of the word you are trying to find.
Example, If you are looking for the songs
from " Gandhi Nagar 2nd Street " try
searching for " gandhi " Since the music
site is arranged categorically and
alphabetically finding a song should not
be that hard.
