Hoster 3.3 songbook difference
When I printed my songbook, by Artist, in 3.120, I was able to add the disk brand/ID and it showed up at the end of the song title. Now, in 3.3, when adding the Disk brand/ID, the information is put on a second line.
I can see now why someone complained that their book is twice as big, because of this second line.
However, it is very important to me to be able to show the different versions by Disk number and give my singers that choice. I have been in this business for 10 years now & most of my singers have now become "professional" karaoke singers. What I mean by that is, many of them have been around as long as I have and know for a fact that if you play the same song recorded by one of the newer companies and were used to singing it from one of the original companies that first came out with karaoke disks (I guess I'm not able to mention names) that went out of business a few years ago - there is a BIG difference!!! And I am referring to the changes in words and sometimes parts of the song even being left out, not counting the quality of the music itself. It is OBVIOUS to anyone who has been doing this since before CDRs were invented.
Until I purchased Hoster, I was using my old song books that I created 5 years ago and then have a second section with the songs added after that. If my singers pick a song from my "new list", most often it is from a fairly new company and they DO complain when it is so far off from the original. So, I take it out and replay that song from my "old collection" of disks & they are then VERY HAPPY.
Singers DO know the difference, no matter how much they've had to drink. Even if they are new to Karaoke. If they have the original song at home or even just sing along to the radio, after hearing a song dozens of times, it is very obvious when you go to Karaoke and the song is VERY DIFFERENT from what you're used to.
So, I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY OF CHANGING THE SONGBOOK TO APPEAR LIKE 3.120, SO THAT I CAN SHOW THE DIFFERENT BRANDS AND NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION APPEAR ON A SECOND LINE????
