    The music listed under this 8000 Series episode numbers was created as a "A Favorites Playlist", which are titles already listed, or duplicates of Tabernacle Choir music videos already listed under "Specials" in, "Music & the Spoken Word", (Series ID: 328100), which I'll refer to as "Volume 1", -- for short.
    I consider the list of music in Vol. 1-Specials to be "The ULTIMATE SINGLES LIBRARY" or catalog listing of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's "Music-On-Video" music collection that has been posted on YouTube, from The Mormon Tabernacle Choir itself. The music-on-video collection includes everything that I could lay my hands on, that was not third party reposting's by fans. If it was not music officially posted by the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" itself, then I did not want it. (its almost like rock collecting, --- it never ends), with a few exeptions.

    To simplify this first installment into the database in Vol. 1, (which was initially entered during May, 2017), I chose to EXCLUDE the following sub-categories, (which we can be add here at a later time). I've excluded most Organ Solos, most Christmas music, most celebrity performances that were performed in concerts (just a few were entered), and I excluded videos of Church Hymns performed by the Choir during General Conferences which are accompanied by the organ only. Again, there were a few exceptions such as if there was a popular church hymn that was not preformed during a regular Music & the Spoken Word broadcast.
    -- At home, I can play the videos on this list (8000 Series episodes)as "Continuous Play", and each will play one after the other, -- continuously. So far, this playlist gives me a little over 4 hours of uninterrupted listening (and viewing) pleasure. And if I desire, I can turn off the TV, and the music will continue to play out of my stereo speakers only.
    HINTS: To create a smooth transition from video to video during continuous playback, I edited each video on this playlist to remove the 30 second YouTube trailer that's included at the end of each video. At the same time I also added a 3 second BLACK blank space at the BEGINNING of each video to allow time for the media server to load the next video into memory before the video starts playing, thus preventing the inherent lag of the audio starting to play without the video, just a black TV screen. Now the audio & video portions of each music video starts at the same moment, every time.
