Gentlemen let's keep this civil and respectful of each others views or opinions. There is no need to get upset over it. Think before you post.

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.

wow
WEll I dont know how this got this far down the road.....l....I guess what ever is fast for you is fast for you, all of us Im sure think we are the best at what we do, or most of us would be changing things, the bottom line is, it matters where you are playing and how many songs you get per hours. If you are a a club that does old old country, you are going to do a lot of songs per hour, because the songs are less than 3 mins, but if you are at a younger crowded club, and the songs are 4min 30 secs long it is pretty obvious that you cant do as man, so I must agree that what is fast for you is pretty darn fast, but the next guy may have a total different concept of speed, for me I have to slow down b ecause in my time between songs and introducing singers, Im constently on the mic doing adds for whats going on in the club when Im not there and hwat dinner specials and whats coming on the future for them, but if you are happy with, and your club is happy with how and what you do whats the point here?

Now for an EXACT same show (playlist) using Hoster in it's current setup, using auto mode - as many seem to use - some exclusively (needing to let the songs play from the very beginning to the absolute very end plus the little few second delay between songs, there is no possible way the computer can be faster. Now again when Hoster adds the start/stop points feature so we can set each songs starting point & when it needs to end and also the crossfading feature between songs, then I will concede that Hoster will be even faster than my method and will NEVER bring up the topic again! Hopefully this explains it and this will be my last post about it in this thread.

Host Without Hoster

Well at least you FINALLY admitted in your own post that it's possible! Yes using Hoster on 2 separate computers could achieve the same exact effect, but again you would need 2 separate computers running at the same time. This I will concede. And I completely agreed with you on SEVERAL occasions that the one cdg player vs Hoster is in no way faster than Hoster & never could be.
But when Hoster allows stop/start points & crossfading, then 1 computer can & will be as fast as two separate players, again I will concede this fact! Because believe it or not, some people don't like hosts that daudle & flap their gums trying to be the entertainer or taking up time in between songs & like a fast paced 'get the singer up now' show. I run my show like I would like to see one run. It works for me & our shows. So I continue it, if it didn't work, I would not do it.

This is the first time I've been to this post in a long time. A lot has changed for me since I last posted and I can't believe this same argument is going on. If I come back here 10 years from now will you still be disputing. LET IT GO!!!!

Yea, you are right dont understand the dispute myself, not going there any more, I posted questions about serious stuff on here a long time ago and never got one response to it, but this thread keepscoming to me, and the best answer on this subject helps no one. So, tell me, why cant I burn copies on the new software of chartbuster, this was my question everything works for copies but chartbuster. It does read and write them but but when you put it in a player itwill not play unless you push several numbers and finally it will work been putting up with this for months, maybe Im the only guy to ever have this problem. IM over being too slow or too fast, I just want to do what mtu says it will do.......LOL

I odnt know if I posted it in the right thread, I got a question back from someone at mtu I answered thier question and have never heard back from it, I did read a post ofr two that others were having the same problem but never found how they fixed it. When I first got the new burner and the new version of the software, it did it on all the cds I burned everythng went ok until you tried to play one of them and it will not play until you punch several different tracs in then once it starts to playit will play any trac on there. this has been going on for months here, I have got it so that it does burn and the player reads any cd except chartbuster, I cant figure that out.

When I played bars that were largely pop and rock I would get 14 songs per hour. Now that I do bars that are primarily country I generally get about 16 songs per hour.

Lonnie has a good point...How are you burning these disks, are you using Microstudio or are you using some other utility?

i made a few duplicate of my chartbuster disc using lexicon 1 step disc copier , a while back, if i can remember it right, it wont play on a player, but it will play on my laptop..i used microstudio using the write disc function, and it took a while for the player to read the disc, and it played fine on my test pc..
