Finishing my disc's into storage, now the hard part comes!

Dean-Anthony · #1 April 7th, 2007, 03:42 PM

I have been adding all our discs in our library for the past month and half, and now started using in our show. I am almost finished with the discs, but now for those off brands like, madacy,karaoke bay, all stars, etc. The all stars tell me I have to be connected to the internet? (dahhh, I am always hooked to the internet when at home.) Then all my mini video discs or (VCD's)
After reading the manual, seems as though I have to make a file for that disc style, after clicking on the format radio button. (This is where I have to put my Buzz Lightyear thinking cap on, or better yet, my geekmizer inteligizer glasses, right!)
I get my way around the computer, but I am self taught, and needed some good factual advise on how to do this. Right now, I think I am going to keep using disc player just for now. I do have to get all these finished before summer. (Casino party needs me, and will host over 400 people.)
Then the next issue I remember, is when I know I put some, Sound Choice, DK karaoke, and more in the hoster, and still do not find it. (yes, I merged my KMA files.) Many things to touch base on, and to sharpen technique of the hoster. I have been hosting for over 12 yrs. now and following expects the same great rotation and style.
I Love this program for that, because now I can bring my cordless with me and order a drink, and talk with singers. Anyone that can help me with above issues would be awesome! Thanks from Dean-Anthony aka ursongs or White Fox.

How about those of us who are between 1 & 5 years?

Dean-Anthony · #3 April 9th, 2007, 10:52 PM

I guess I missed the question, 1-5 yrs.? I just needed advise.

Your VCD files will need to be put in a folder on the hard drive so you can import as needed. They have to be imported from the main screen meaning when you do they are temporary. They will not currently go into the Hoster database permanently which means they will not be in your songbook if you print it from Hoster.

Thanks, and I am guessing the other files will be the same (MP3G, etc.)
also, after looking further back I can see you were infering to the vote. Ok, I agree, there are probly a lot of people in the middle 1-5 years.

MP3+G can be imported permanently through the Import from HDD as well as BIN, ZIP and CDG. Those all become a permanent part of the database, where VCD are temporary one time play.

Thanks for that info. and now see if you know this one.
Without a lot of work, how can I get these discs copied that we bought up in Portland Or., Nothing on system recognizes it. I do not want to put all data in by hand, if possible.
Madacy and other odd ball names, I can not remember right now.

Sorry

If they aren't listed in the on-line database or the internal one, you will have to hand type in all the data. Such is life.

Dean-Anthony · #9 April 10th, 2007, 12:26 PM

and updates for the monthly that are not showing now, will be updated through MTU, right!

We do not have monthly or even yearly updates of the database.

We are negotiating with a provider who is open to working with us. If this happens, there will be a subscription charge to get the twice-monthly upgrades.

EH, just as easy to type in the info. Also helps you to get to know what you have!
