What Song Book Program Do You Use

[Joe Nieves]

I use MusicBooks Dlx and I find that a lot of KJ & DJ host I Met that are in the business are using it to.

Would be nice to be able to use the information already paid for to integrate into Hoster.

I used KJ Pro for years but it's an extra step that is no longer necessary with Hoster. Everything you import into Hoster is already there & ready to print into a Songbook - all you have to do is push a few buttons & decide what to print. The built-in Songbrook program is the original reason I bought Hoster.

I use KJ pro, I find for my purposes I can edit out all the number stuff easily. Exporting to Excel for backup or printing is a plus. I have used the Hoster book and printed books for my shows using it. I'm back with KJ pro, guess I'm just stuck in my ways. My books are numberless, and quite often run a gig with very few slips.

I've been using a custom built program for my book making since about a year after I started in the business ( 13 years and counting ). One of my Geek Karaoke Buddies developed it, and we just tweaked it last year to use the Hoster bucket database. It updates every time I add to Hoster and then I determine if I want to delete any duplicates by seeing if the version added is better than what is already printed. I can edit it the way I want, and its attactive, and if he ever goes into the business, I'll let him post it for all of you to preview!

How do you get it to use the Hoster Bucket database when it is password protected? Are you sure it is using the Bucket and not the Songs database? You can't even use the new Bucket from 4.03 with the older versions of Hoster because the password was changed.

Dale,

After thinking about your reply ( Question ), I realize that you are absolutely correct. It's my song database that the program updates with everything new that I import. CDG's are all I have ever transferred since I went computer ( Hoster ) about 4 years ago. Sorry for the confusion!

hoster songbook works ok not sure if its worth the diference from the lite program just to have it and play disks.

kjpro is at the top for most users i would think. Fasttrack2 is looking very good though has list for webpage,request slip maker and a few other toys price is up there for what it does so i can see why its not at the top. The biggest problem with is that it needs more page options maybe there is a better way to use it not sure only printed books out once so far show is getting to be paper less more and more we keep singers song slips also thats why i like the new singers list.

I'm using Song List Generator and I love it.
