Fix Tunes - Laptop and PC DJ Software
June 10th, 2008FixTunes is an easy and powerful program that will fix any missing or misspelled song details, add album artwork, remove duplicates songs and organize your music.
Smarter Than Other Programs
iTunes and other programs rely on correct information in your songs to find album art. Not FixTunes. Even if your song names have misspellings or missing info, FixTune’s intelligent database technology will find the matching artwork.
It’s Automatic - Typing Not Necessary
Who has time drag and drop thousands of album pictures or to re-type hundreds of artist names? FixTunes is completely automated. It will automatically add album art to your songs and fix your music while you sleep or play outside.
Add Album Art to Songs
In addition to correcting all your song details, FixTunes will download the correct album artwork and add it to each song. Its a part of the automatic process and no extra work is needed from you. Enjoy your music collection that way it was meant to be seen.
Edit and Fix MP3 Tags and Names
FixTunes is a full-featured music-fixing package. It will add missing album art to all your songs, but it can also clean up all your missing and incorrect song information: artists, albums, titles, tracks, years, and genres. Isn’t it annoying when you have 3 different spellings of the same artist? FixTunes will correct your music tags and names.

PAT Testing
June 2nd, 2008What is a PAT test
A PAT test is a safety test for just about any item with a plug. PAT testing of electrical items used for a professional purpose is advised in several legislations and electrical safety acts. Once an item has passed a PAT test a green pass sticker is placed on the item, the date when the item should be re-tested is written on the sticker. PAT tests should be carried out annually. In the same way a car needs to go through an M.O.T once a year, an electrical item should be P.A.T tested once a year.

What equipment should be tested and why
All equipment which uses mains power should be tested, this includes - CD Players, Mixers, Turntables, Amps, Radio Mics, Light Controllers / Chasers, EQ’s, Cross-Overs, Effects Lights, Smoke Machines, Par Cans, Spot Lights, extension Leads, Bar / Gang plugs, iec/kettle Leads.
All equipment for PAT testing must carry the following;
- The ‘CE’ mark or the ‘BS Standard’ mark
- All leads & appliances must have British plugs only (must be BS1363).
- No adaptors will be PAT tested
- You do not need to test Speakers or speaker leads as these do not use mains power.
Apart from the peace of mind from knowing that your equipment has been tested and found to be safe. Many venues, especially council owned venues such as Leisure Centre’s no longer allow you to use disco equipment which is not PAT tested (the number of venues insisting on PAT tested equipment is growing day by day). If you can not do the job as you are not PAT tested then it will go to your competitor who is. When taking a booking for a PAT tested venue’s many disco’s increase their price which you can justify to cover the cost of the testing
How much does it cost
We charge £3.00 per item (turntable, CD player, amp, etc.) and £2.00 per lead (iec/kettle lead, bar plug, extension lead, etc.)
Please Note: Items that are housed in flight cases will often have to be removed to be tested. There will be a £1 surcharge per item removed by the P.A.T. tester.
If your equipment is “hardwired”, please note each item will have to be tested individually.
