I use BPM software for the dj side of my show which is a mix between kj and dj. Not all people like to sing. I have tried OTSdj. And the biggest difference I saw funtionally was that the automatic gain control (AGC) in OTSdj did not work that well. It cut off the ends of a lot of lyrics in the music no matter what settings I used. BPS works perfectly although only in auto mode in the version I have. The biggest thing to look for no matter what software you buy is whether you will get audio dropouts if you are doing something at the same time in another program. I found that if I was playing a fill song and doing a search in hoster for a karaoke song it would cause the audio in Windows Media Player or MusicMatch player to skip or drop out. This does not happen with BPM. The folks at MTU told me this was because BPM set their priority level to maximum as MTU does for Hoster. I don't particularly care for the search functions of BPM. They are harder to use than say MusicMatch(Bought out by Yahoo). However, BPM does offer the use of multiple sound cards. I use two and send each to a separate stereo input on my mixer. In use, BPM looks like one or two CD players side by side on your screen and you can cue up a song in each player. Like I have stated, I think the most important thing is whether you will get audio dropouts while adding a customer's CDG to the playlist etc.
