Singer's list - max size?

[songpony]

I'm a KJ - it isn't for solo work. Obviously, I don't sing that number of songs in a night, but that's the list I pick from when I'm in the rotation. I thought about trying to split it into multiple lists, but then I'd show up as multiple names, and have to remember what's in each list. For myself, I may just have to stick with my Excel spreadsheet, and just keep a more limited number songs in the list that I do most often. Thanks for the feedback.

That's what I was thinking, multiple lists. Maybe A-Z for Title or A-Z for Artist. Use the Letter for a middle initial or last name. You can always edit it in the playlist after adding.

Can you edit it in the playlist? I haven't been able to modify singer's name once it's in the list (could with previous versions).

Right Click the Singers Name instead of left clicking and then you can edit it.

Ahhh. Glad to see we haven't lost that capability. Thanks!

I know the folks at MTU work hard to deliver the best product with all of the features we ask for, but to complain about an 800 song singer's list taking too long to load! Hoster has and always will have limitations, as does ALL software. Might I suggest you spend more time letting your customers sing than putting yourself in the rotation. I have gigs seven nights a week and hardly ever sing a song, just too busy trying to get as many singers up as possible. Sorry if I opened up a can of worms here, but let's get real, this is not a major issue.

I didn't say it was - I was just asking if anyone knew if there was an "optimum" value. I obviously do not sing 800 songs a night, a week, a month, etc. - it just happens to be how many I know and the list that I pick from. I thought it would be handy if I could have it set up in a singer's list, but if I can't, no big deal (I've been using an Excel spreadsheet for 8 years now - I can certainly continue using it). I sing only once per rotation, and it just so happens that the customers at the places I work actually get MAD at me if I don't sing. Many try to get me to put myself in more than once in a rotation, but I won't. I (and my customers) happen to think I'm running my shows appropriately, so that's really my only concern. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however. I just want to make it clear that I am not, and never was, COMPLAINING about the fact that opening up such a large list is too slow - I was "information gathering", which I think this forum is an appropriate venue for.
