I think it's fair to at least acknowledge what is one's own contribution, and what is third party. Some of us use commercial Karaoke tracks in mp3 form. Do we really want to hear this? Then it's a singer's forum, not an arranger's forum, isn't it...? Even if an arranger is the mp3 player.

All of our arrangers can pump out a very good quality track to just about any song. How does this jam serve any purpose (other than to showcase singing talent) on an arranger forum if third party commercial SMF's can be used..?

I appreciate how others have made an effort for it to be arranger production, whether to make the track or fully 'live'. I just thought that others would feel the same way, keep the bar even, etc...?
