Hoster 4.01 running fine...do I change?

[GMANN]

Hi guys (and gals!),
Hoster lite 4.01 running finer than frog hair (which is pretty fine) for me. (About 15-20 hours of home play) I have even toggled back over to 3.4 and runs equally well.

I am updated on all software and run with 4 GB RAM, XP PRO, SP3, IE 7 and Windows Media Player 11 (yes I have opened it, Jim ).

Only had a couple songs that I came across that needed to be re-imported (off of CDGs)...no problems now with those.

So I have this party for the niece on Friday night (wedding rehearsal after-party) and plan to use 4.01 (with 3.4 to backup) at a local bar that has given us full use of the upstairs. I will not use 3.4 unless I absolutely have to...as the 4.01 rocks; the intermission photos I can show of the niece and groom to be; the rotating song wait times, titles, etc, the insta buttons (which are a hoot...if used properly!) and I like the interface so much better. I don't use DJ software ...YET!

I feel for the people that are having problems....I hope they stay with it long enough to enjoy the 4.x software; in my limited time using MTU software (3 months) they have responded to every concern. The help here on the forum is a benfit too. I think that MTU will come to a solution with the Vista OS, but even my IT guys think it is crap. Shows how much the MTU guys really care about getting Hoster running on ALL platforms where possible. I do, however, understand the urgency of show hosts that cannot get it running.........

Now my next decision: After this party I have 2 more venues on 2 consecutive weekends (block party then labor day shindig at our place). When do I upgrade to 4.02 (or even 4.03?). Not a big deal for me to wait until later as I am not a paid professional (dinner for the family and a 12-pk Heineken usually suffices! )

Peace and good Karaoke. Remember.... "There are no BAD Karaoke singers; there are, however, BAD Karaoke listeners"..... I tell that to everybody to break the ice and they get up and have a lot of fun.
