You're absolutely correct I have a Cav's two disc player and can run a faster show then Hoster and for the same reasons you mention, but prefer not to log all the equipment and disc around any more.

Keeping it lite is all right and by the way the only thing that comes close is VDJ it has two virtual turn tables and you can listen and assign que points on deck "B" before play and do the same thing on deck "A" while deck "B" is playing.

The only set back is you'll need to keep a separate zip file folder of your songs because it can't play .Kma files, but does a geart job to the points you made and it also weighs a lot less.

So No, I would not cansel a show because of problems with Hoster or bring my CD's & Player.

My Insurance Policy

I'd use VDJ to do the show as I discovered as a result of losing a very Hot good paying Gig because of problems with Hoster program.

Another Just In Case Thing, I bring my iPod already to go, just plug it in to my M-Audio NRV10 mixer and let ur rip.

The iPod software also has que points for eash song you can preset and create a PlayList including Video Karaoke.

You'll have to buy a conversion program for Karaoke but there is a lot of power and functionality to this small device.

I also carry an additional 160 Gig hard drive to swap out the lapTop loaded with VDJ and zip files to run a complete show including Videos while the ipod is running.



Joe....
I see Joe, I think the original question was intended to mean if all computers were unavailable and you were left with a disc player and discs, would you load em and go with a smile or just hire your backup guy to cover for you that night. I'd stay home and work on the computer problem those four hours instead. Always good to share the workload once in a while. Every time I do return from a vacation, ALL regulars and non-regulars ALWAYS say to me "Man, am I glad you're back, the other guy's a nice guy but he jusrt doesn't have the functionality you have".
