DUPLICATE KMA FILES (same discID and track#) DETECTED DURING DB MERGE
but when i reference any of them, there are no duplicates. so i'm not exactly sure what the deal is there.

Your welcome Shaun. Did it bring you total up to the right number (equal to the number of KMA files in the folder)? You can either do another rebuild and see if the count is right or you can open the Songs.mdb in Access and check the total number of records in the table. If not you may have to resort to the Hex editor to correct DiskID-Track numbers in those in the list?
What Hex Editor do you use?

Once you get the Show Display set-up the way you want it (you could help him there) there isn't a whole lot of extra to have to deal with. The marquee is optional and a great way to advertise for the Host and for the venue that you are playing at.The Singer's database is optional to use and great for storing your regular's songs that they sing over and over. Other than that it is pretty much the same. The great thing is it looks much more professional to the singers and audience but is very easy to use.
Maybe you need to try the demo on another computer and show them how easy it is to use.
