KJ claims to have 75,000 songs?

[Heatline]

[quote=kevinjanet]I have some competition. (who is charging about half of what other KJ's charge) who is claiming to have 75,000 songs in his library. Forgetting for the moment that there has to be lots of duplicates. Is it even possible to have that many songs?

One way to do a better show is put a video overlay unit on and a cheap camera
and the singers are veiwed on the screen with words attached, a dvd recorder
to the setup and record them for a price it works for me and I have the best setup in town, they Luv it

You can't do that legally.

I think G-force is right. That opens up all kinds of cans of worms. Hope Big Brother recording industry never comes to see your show. Their lawyers would have a field day. It is best to just keep it simple and not Flashy.

The video overlay is a good idea, but very expensive to implement. Selling the recording is the not so legal part. I was going to implement a slideshow of the singers in between songs, but found that I had too much going on on my desktop with winamp for bumper music, hoster and messageoke pro running at the same time even with a 3.0 ghz machine and a gig of ram.

Can't legally even give copywritten material away.

A one case senerio is at aprox.15 songs a disk, that would be 5,000 disks, or if $9.95 a disk $4,9750.00 more or less. Quite a few nights of hosting.to break even.
There seems to be some foolish planning here, or an awful expensive hobby.
Well if you have it flaunt it.

Yes you are right it was a gimic anyway, recorder is taken out thats for that

That's a LOT! Most places I've worked people were impressed with my library. And I have a little over 5,000 songs. I'll bet I have a bunch that he doesn't even have!

Do your best. Keep your rates where they belong. Don't whore yourelf out and demand respect. The cream always rises to the top!

Heatline, how do you do this overlay thing? Are you saying that you can get a picture of the singer and put it in the background of the lyrics?
