I have compiled what I consider to be the top 100 Kannada Oldies. In compiling the list, I have only considered the melodic content and ignored the words. I do not have about 5-10 songs in the list (such as Neeniddarenu Haththira from Aananda Kanda) and so I replaced them with the next best songs I have with me. This amended list is given below. I will try to upload all the hundred songs.

Dear mreccentric,
I had thousands of songs, but I have been deleting all the songs which I do not feel like listening again. I am now left with about 400. Maybe I should I start uploading before I delete them also!

How about torrents?
