More Problems!!!!

[Skybird74]

Rikki - Too easy a fix - Restarting the computer again, not just Hoster, and I can Add from the DiskID & BookID (Go figure!!!!!)

With everyone's problems & the fact that I now use Vista for my Show computer, I wasn't about to install 4.03 in it, until I practiced on my old XP. I just installed, rebooted & started trying everything out, what I know I use as well the new features.

I hate not having the Version that a customer wants (I don't play in public bars, only in clubs, so most everyone is regulars, very few newbies). If I cut out anything, it would be the SGBs. I don't care for most of what I have heard. But yet, I do have a few regulars who went out & got the whole SGB set & that's what he practices on, so...... there you go. It's not worth my effort. From experience, I'd rather have too much that not enough.

I started going to Karaoke when some people only had cassettes. I started my career by singing with cassettes in nursing homes in 1993 & it grew from there. I was up to 100 cassettes when I finally broke down & changed to CDGs. Trying running a show by having to "fast forward" or "reverse" to find the song someone wants to sing. And I either typed up the lyrics myself or enlarged the words that came with the cassette on a Xerox machine!!!!! That was fun!

I just deleted the songs.db and am rebuilding to see if that makes a difference there.

Yes, Dale & Jim and some others are great with advice. I don't know where they find the time. I'm not computer challenged, but I don't understand what goes into things like programming & coding.

Skybird, the first words out of a Microsoft Tech Support are "Have you rebooted the system?" Guess I should have followed the standard support statement.

[Skybird74]

I am sure I did immediately after installing, but I also know from experience that sometimes it takes more than once to do the job.

Also, I realized that one time (in my frustration) I didn't enter a singer's name. And it will not Add to the list of that Field is blank.
Guess I was way too impatient that night.

You can add songs without a singer's name. I do it all the time when setting up a test playlist.

If the song being entered is a regular singer during a gig and I know what they sing, I'll enter it on the playlist without a name and fill it in later after the line dies down.

Well, that's interesting! I have tried both ways since & it will ADD when I put in a singer's name, but it will NOT ADD if I don't.
(very strange!)

[madjim- with the Lord]

Hey Sky,
Is this when you enter through the search window or when enter from "select singers song area" or both?

Jim

[Skybird74]

Neither! When I select through BookID or Brand. The Search window works like it is supposed to.

Skybird74, you only have to remove songs from your book.
you can still keep them in computer, so that you have all brands.
i have one version of each in my book.
but still have all in my computer for my singers.

[Skybird74]

Bob, I understand what you're saying. Not worth the effort for me. Also, if the brands aren't listed in the books then people will come up even more just to ask what Brands I have. The more info I have in my books, the more time I have to do my job - not answer questions.

I did remove the xxx songs from my books but kept them on my machine (for the after hours' show) if we feel like getting really silly!!!!!
