Binders for songbooks...

That's another advantage with the kiosk and phone app software, the size of the database is not a problem.
Still hanging on to see this addition with Hoster.

Ditto That... I have "weeded out" most all of the dupes, that I have in computer database, as well as songs that seldom gets sung... in front of songbook I mention that the book doesn't have all songs available, and that if you don't find what you are looking for, just ask me/host to search for you...

My 1 1/2 inch binders (12) with sheet protectors (100 to 120) get updated every year, and new song pages about once every month... they are still looking ok after 5+ years... just replace a couple of damaged/graffitti/"Artists-Taggers", artwork with fresh sheet protectors, and they are good to go... 3 or 4 shows a wk for 5 years, they are a worthwhile investment...Avery Dennison brand with a textured surface to fight spills, and a soft pliable cover that allows the spline to bend without destroying the book...

I too am looking into a kiosk system... several coming on the market as we speak... Hopefully MTU will jump on the concept sooner and not later!

I'll probably have mine already going by the time they get theirs going - unfortuantely, it's the competition. I just need to figure out how to weed out the songs I do NOT want listed from the terminal station from the Hoster database before I employ it into use - shouldn't be too hard, both based on Access.

I've got the same product that you are probably testing... my custom book making program, has the same problem with not showing what I don't wish to include in kiosk database... I've got my programming buddy that wrote my custom bookmaking program looking into the feasibility of improving his beta software and including the re-writing of the edited database that could be of great help when going to the kiosk method... just wanted to let MTU know that besides Roy, several of us loyalists, would rather have it incorporated in Hoster...
