Sites with Roxette demos in .mp3 format
RoxHard said on January 25, 2005 04:39:
www.roxbytes.com is a great site, it’s just a pity that the audio isn’t in .mp3 format. I know the .ogg format plays in Real Player - but I can’t copy CDs using Real Player (if one thing is not wrong, it’s another, and another, and another... and so on).
Does anyone know of a good site with the demos as downloads in .mp3 format? I’ve tried www.roxette.cz, but a lot of them there are just blanks (Anyone is the only demo I can get from there).
Even if a site you know of only has a few demos - please share. I’ve just started collecting the demos, and this is all I have...
[1] 7twenty7
[2] Anyone
[3] Don’t Believe In Accidents
[4] Dressed For Success
[5] Fading Like A Flower
[6] Milk & Toast & Honey
[7] Stay {at home, at work, at play}
[8] You Turn Me On

Nice site, seems to have most, if not all of the demo’s available.
If for some reason they don’t work, i can always send you the ones i’ve got.

Pearls of roxette has been down for a while now, I think.
It’s really very easy to just convert ogg files to mp3.
This is a good site to download a free converter:

Funny this topic should come up just as I am putting together a few discs of demos etc. together.
I’ve discovered I’ve ’lost’ the milk+toast+honey demo, plus The Sweet Hello, the Sad Goodbye.
If anyone could give me a link to a site where i can download them (they’re not on roxbytes) or email them to me, I would be very pleased :)

It’s cool thanks Rob, I found it at
http://www.roxette.cz/ so no worries.
These links should keep you occupied for a while, RoxHard :)

i thought there wasn’t a demo for the sweet hello that that was a misprint for the vulnerable single?

There ain’t... I just mentioned it in this thread cos I’m putting in on a disc with demos.

The Roxette section of my website will go online probably within a week or two. There will be a download page available for more rare songs and demos/remixes.
Also featured will be a collection of Swedish to English side by side translations for almost everything that you folks have been kind enough to supply for us. Of course, there will be the standard discography, brief history, The Roxette FAQ that many of you put together years ago – basically it will feature 15 years of all of the great things stolen from the web with original author’s credit given.
What can I say – I’m one of the last breathing Roxette fanatics in the USA!
Until then, if you’d like to take a peek at the formatting of the site, the television and cartoon part of my site is up and available at:
See Ya!
