I currently use a large dry erase board to display the rotation as a convenience to my singers, plus this helps keep the rotation order fair and orderly. I have been shopping and shopping before getting hoster to get my system computerized and I settled with MTU, even though the competitor offers their software for a fraction of the cost and also it plays in a more universal zip and mp3+g format and their user can join support groups and steal every karaoke song available, I chose a more ethical brand.
Any way this competitor offers a couple of options I find very nice and that is 1. Displays the next singer or personal message across the bottom of the screen, and 2 advances the song audio to begin as soon as play is pressed without the silent 10 or 19 seconds by some mfgrs. I am proud of my choice I just don't want to be shown up.

good suggestion,
I'm still trying to get them to add a scanner to read request slips. it is so annoying to have to manually type in the song id and name.
the only problem with the next singers name being on the screen I can see is they will have to be reading the screen to see it. I don't find I have a lot of customers paying a lot of attention to the screen when they are not having to read it. Or if they are in the rest room. I see that as part of the KJ's job to announce it.
Make it totally automatic, and they won't need us. they will only need a computer.
this isn't a flame, I just dont see it happening.
