My question is not listed above, how do I ask it?

How do I buy an album listed on your site?
At this time, Acadisc.com does not sell albums directly.  We instead direct you to the group's sites where you can buy them directly to support the groups.  Near the top of each Acadisc page is "Available through..." and a link to the group's website.  If you are looking for an album that does not have lyrics yet, please go to Acadisc Links and find the link to the group there.  Occasionally a page will say "Not currently available."  This means that the group no longer sells that album.  If you see this, try searching the internet for the album or looking on sites like Ebay.

I would like to record a song that appears on your site, what do I do?
Try contacting the person who wrote the song.  If you are unable to contact them directly, try contacting the group that recorded the song (by visiting their webpage and emailing them) and seeing if they can help you contact the author and obtain permission.  The editors of this webpage cannot authorize the recording of any song that appears on the site.

I would like to put a previously recorded version of a song that appears on your site on a compilation album, what do I do?
Try contacting the group that recorded the song (by visiting their webpage and emailing them) and ask them for permission for this type of recording.  The editors of this webpage cannot authorize the recording of any song that appears on the site.

Where can I find sheet music for a song that appears on your site?
Some groups have sheet music available on their websites.  For instance, The Acappella Company sells print and downloadable sheet music for some of their albums at http://www.theacappellacompany.com  If this is not available, try contacting the person who wrote the song.  If you are unable to contact them directly, try contacting the group that recorded the song (by visiting their webpage and emailing them) and seeing if they can help you contact the author.  Another alternative is searching the internet (Try http://www.google.com) for the title of the song in quotations along with "sheet music" (eg. "Amazing Grace" "sheet music").

Where can I find the lyrics for a song that does not appear on your site?
Try searching the internet (Try http://www.google.com) for the title of the song in quotations along with "lyrics" or a few words from the song in quotations (eg. "Amazing Grace" "that saved a wretch like me").  If the song is a traditional hymn, try Cyberhymnal.  The editors of this site have had significant success using these methods - if you are unsuccessful with them, contact Ken and he will attempt the search.

Can I buy one of the albums listed on your page - do you sell any of them?
Most albums listed on the site are available through the websites of the groups that recorded them (see the top of the Acadisc lyrics pages or the links page).  The only group that Acadisc.com currently assists in selling their albums directly through our website is Glorify Him.  To purchase Glorify Him albums, please click here.

Can I get .mp3s of the songs on your website?
At this time Acadisc.com does not have song clips available on our site.  However, many of the groups listed on our site have clips available through their webpages.  You can find links to these pages on the links page.

I found a mistake on your page, what do I do?
Please email Ken and tell him which page/album the mistake is on and what the mistake is.

I have a Christian acappella album that does not appear in your album directory, can it be added?
Certainly, email Ken with the name of the group and the name of the album(s).

I would like to add my group's album with lyrics as an Acadisc, how do I do this?
It is our policy that, except in rare circumstances, one of the editors of Acadisc.com must have a copy of an album for it to appear on our website (this is so that content is standardized).  That said, we make every effort to make arrangements with groups that wish to have their album lyrics on our site.  In some cases one of our editors may already have the album - in those cases we will work on adding it as soon as possible.  In other cases, groups have donated a copy of their album to one of our editors so that they could work on adding the album.  Please email Ken to arrange for your album to be added to the site.  Please keep in mind that in some cases there can be a delay of up to several months in adding the album due to the number of requests we have for adding albums - if you are able to send an attachment with album information and/or lyrics, the process is usually a little faster.

I would like to add my group to the group directory, how do I do this?
Please email Ken and give him as much of the following information as possible: group name (required), group bio (required), group location, group website/contact, group picture or link to picture, list of albums by the group

I know a scripture that fits a song on your site perfectly, how can it be added?
Please email Ken with the name of the album, name of the song, and scripture reference along with any comments you might have.

Can you link to my webpage?
If your website is related to Christian acappella music, email Ken with the URL and a brief description and he will add a link.  A reciprical link is appreciated.  If your website is not related to Christian acappella music, we will not add a link to it unless there are unique circumstances (Christian charities, etc.).

Can I link to your webpage?
Certainly.  Please link to the front page, http://www.acadisc.com, when possible (although links to the Scripture Directory, Song Directory, etc. are also appreciated).  If you wish to use a graphic, feel free to use http://www.acadisc.com/images/corner.jpg or http://www.acadisc.com/images/header.jpg.  See the previous question if you would like a reciprical link.

Do any of the editors of this website sing with Acappella or any other group(s)?
None of the members of the Acadisc Team sing with the group Acappella, but Steve and Tim are both active in singing ministries.  Please read about the Acadisc Team if you would like to know more about the editors of this site.

Are you affiliated with any specific church or denomination?
In short, no.  The editors of the Acadisc Team come from all over the country and, while several of us are members of independent churches of Christ (which generally use acappella worship in their services), acappella music has roots in many places of worship and we welcome all those interested in acappella music to our website.

Can I become an editor and/or help out with your site?
We welcome additions and/or corrections from everyone.  If you are interested in joining the Acadisc Team, please email Ken with your name and how you would like to help.  Our biggest needs at this time are web saavy Christians who can help with website design, maintenance, and/or promotion.  However, we will welcome any requests to help.

How was this website designed?
Most of the website design was done by Ken with initial help from AOLPress software and various sources around the internet.  Ken currently maintains the site using Trellian WebPage software along with Notepad HTML editing.  We are looking for ways to upgrade the site using more recent webpage design techniques.

I don't see any ads on your pages, how is this site paid for?
We are committed to keeping this website free to visitors as well as ad free.  The site has grown such that it now costs approximately $100 per year to maintain in addition to a significant amount of time.  Our only established sources of paying for the site are donations through Paypal (see below).  We are currently funded through December 2003 thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.  If you would like to suggest ways to cover our expenses in the future, please email Ken.

Donations accepted to help cover site expenses (Paypal)

Can you help me sell Christian acappella albums that my group has/I have?
We have provided this service for Glorify Him in the past and we would be willing to help any other groups that wish to sell their albums through our site.  A small commission to help cover the expenses of the site is appreciated, but not required.  Please email Ken with any requests.  Currently we do not allow individuals to sell albums through our site, but please email Ken if you have albums you wish to sell.

My question is not listed above, how do I ask it?
Email Ken
