Re: song database standard "trick" need bucket password.

Viewing, Cutting, and Pasting Artist/Song information from the Bucket Database is not feasible, unless you are proficient in making Queries to combine multiple TABLES.

The Bucket database uses separate TABLES for Artist and SongTitle and Disc Manufacturer.

When you go to your favorite KARAOKE WEB STORE, where they usually have a listing that one can Cut & Paste, the Artist and SongTitles, usually, are in a TABLE that follows the Disc Manufacture’s Layout (Tracks 01 - XX).

This way, when Pasted in your favorite Word Processor, you can readily Transfer the data to Hoster as Hoster is Open, along with, your Word Processor. And, by-the-way, a Dual Video card, used for Hoster, comes in handy as one can use the Dual Mode, with Two Monitors, to keep Hoster Maximized on one Monitor and the Word Processor Maximized on the second Monitor so that one can VIEW both, at the same time, while Cutting and Pasting.

Since the Bucket Database has separate Tables for Artist, SongTitle, and Disc Manufacturer, none of the information lines up or is displayed, as you would see on the Internet.

Hoster, itself, runs the Queries to combine the tables that automatically fill in the Data, when a Brand and Disc number is selected.

Unless you like the fact that all the Apostrophes have been removed from the Bucket Database, which make contractions look like misspelled words, then, you may as well Cut & Paste from the Internet, which are going to be 99% correct listings.
