I just bought Hoster and it my understanding I can download songs off the Internet for a one time use for Karaoke shows. I know this sounds simple but I need to know how to accomplish this. Can anyone give me a hint because I am clueless

No that is not correct. You can import a song from someone elses CD into Hoster for a one time use, but anything you download from the Internet will need to imported permanently. Meaning you will have to buy the song. That purchase needs to be from a legal sales point.
I don't know where you got this idea and would like to know if anything in MTU's documentation gave you the idea this would work.

Now I understand and can make sense of the whole thing. Thanks Doc

We usually do our ordering from Ace Karaoke, but there are plenty of sites on the internet to buy from. Just do a search for karaoke disks and you will find many.
Since you are just getting started, I will say be careful where you order from. Some offer hard drives with massive amounts of songs. These are illegal and not something you want. Many of the sites that offer downloading of song files are also illegal. If you want to download individual songs then stick to the producers web sites. Your best bet is if you can get physical CDs then you know you are legal as you have the physical disk to show for it.

Just to add to this, Doc you need to take your address out of your "Location" in the header too. Just list your location as your city and state if you want, but putting your address in there is not a good idea.
