Disc ID question

[mindonstrike]

I'm a "custom scheme(r)". I have a legend at the front of the books for those who want to know what brand a song is. 01-xx thru 99-xx are reserved for VCD for when the time comes they can be imported but they are titled that way on my hard drive now. 100-xx thru 299-xx =PHM, 300-xx thru 499-xx =CB, etc. I use Soundchoices own numbers 2000-xx thru 9908-xx. Most of the number blocks I have memorized so when I do get a question on a song I can usually tell them the brand without looking it up, and most of my singers who are concerned about the brand are looking for SC which is even easier to tell.

I will usually accomodate a song slip that is missing the bookid but I have found that most folks who give me a slip like this often times didn't even look in the book to see if I have the song or they confuse a line from the chorus as being the song title. , they just wrote it up, handed it in and went on their merry way so then I have to hunt them down and let them know I don't have it ask whose rendition etc.

If I were paperless I'd have to deal with 50-60 people, many of whom after making their requests want to stay and chat forcing me to blow them off to get to other requests or collect microphones, call up the next singer, etc.

madjim I am glad the paperless thing works for you, but for me it would be more work than I would care for.

my 2 cents
