Host without Hoster?

[Roy Dennis]

I would and have in the past reverted back to my CD+g disc's after my lap top broke down about 2 years ago, had to have a new mother board fitted. I have backed up all the songs but have not got a backup laptop.
As I number all my disks with the same disk ID as in Hoster. IE if disk id is 342-15 I just number the disk 342 this way I can use the same song books and find the song quite easy. I Don't store my disks in their original CD cases, I have 3 case logic cases which have vinyl pages and each stores 200 Cd's. My books only list about 5000 songs, as the size of the books get too big with more than this in. I list them in Artist order & Title order in same book with duets and new releases at the back. I use 100 leaf display folders which gives you 200 pages to show. I state in the books that only the most popular songs are shown but that they can request others and I will try to find them which is easy enough with the search feature in Hoster but if I was using my disc's I would just carry the ones in the songbook. I usually have my cd+g player hooked up anayway as I prefer this for playing any singers own disks and some have them on dvd anyway and my player can play both with instant access.
So I voted yes I would but I must say that it is a lot less work hosting with Hoster.
