Joker, you just insist on being offended. If that's your idea of a good time then set to it and have fun. Big gun was right, I said and meant the low end of the market, as in price. For a couple of years I had the cheapest hosting software on the market, not only in the price you paid but it...

Well, yeah..... AutOkdj took money out of my pocket but that has nothing to do with zipping. If you were charging money for AutOKdj I could compete. You have the low end of the market cornered and I can't out advertise MTU and Compuhost in the upper end so further development is pointless...

Essentially it is that the con of zipping is that it increases the likelyhood of a computer crash. In your explaination of sycronizing (which is illegal in the US but that's another topic) you express the need to check the copy to make sure it is correct. Good idea. Zipping is at best a...

1. I cannot respond to point 1 because I don't know what "syncronizing" a library does. 2. Why would you search for both file names? 3. If you had a "well behaved program" it would automatically rename all associated files without zipping. 4. True, decreasing the total number of files in a...

And what would these "Best features" be? Exactly? Opinions vary. Here's some karaoke freeware I whipped up for a friend http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?30500000036644. Aside from that Sacks-O-Nuts ShowHoster had video bits, kiosks, rotation, autoplay, built-in song books maker, file renamer...

Gladly, what would you like? It was my profession for many years.

Must stir the pot just a bit more. How does having one file name rather than two simplify a file system? You don't deal directly with the file system. Second, those miliseconds represent about eight million bytes of information that have to be re-written for no purpose. Computers do not work...

Ah Professor, you're over my head again. You seem to be talking about the need to bundle file formats which don't yet exist. Now wait a minute, they did exist in the quadraphonic wonder of the 70's that no one liked. End user don't deal with files. They press play. I believe you are...

Yes Toqer, it is true. Completely over my head. The advantage of a container is what exactly??? The advantage of admitting you're stupid is that there is always room to learn from someone else. So then Prof. Toqer, if you please.

I fear you are taking personal offense from a purely accademic discussion. As for stupidity in general I know where-of I speak for I have vast experience at being stupid and acting stupidly. Therefore, I know that the first step towards ending stupidity is to admit that what you are doing is...

To quote the sage Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does." I would and did call something which complicates a process to no advantage whatever, stupid. It's like keeping pencils up you nose. Take them out to inhale, put them back, take them out to exhale, replace, ad infinitum. The arguement...

Toq: Why would you need to contain a computer file? Anything that you do to a file you have to undo before you can use it. As Tim said, you don't gain a lot by compressing an MP3 file (about 8%). The CDG file ususally compresses 80-90% but that's because it's mostly garbage (filler bytes for...

Unzip the files and leave them unzipped. You computer will thank you. The best way to solve a problem is by not making it in the first place.

I think you would be hard pressed to get me to part with five bucks to sing a flipping karaoke song.

Pretty easy to do really. The hard part would be getting the list of lyrics to begin with. As for listenting stations.... Again, easy enough to do but it might cause a glich if the music was playing from the host computer at same time. Or, you could just put the first ten seconds of each...

Been there, done that, nobody cared and that was back in '03. How did the whole downloading for profit thing ever work out Toqer? Hats off to autoK.... and all its versions.

By golly neither would I! And the reverse is also true. I wouldn't want the anouncer at a monster truck rally in his office doing the books like a movie theater manager. Good thing this so seldom happens in the real world.

I have been retired from karaoke for over a year now but back in the day.... I think karaoke is all about having fun and hanging out in a bar is all about having fun. A bad singer can be more entertaining than a good singer and a group of bad singers all singing badly at the same time is...

In reading through some of the active threads, I saw that Toqer brought up the cost of the sync license which is a huge cost of the manus. When I was doing karaoke, I played to a bunch of drunks and I was one of them (ah, the good old days) and no one really cared about the sound but the...

I can't speak for autOkdj but if I was going to include that feature, I would do it like this. Assuming that the MP3 file is not using a variable bit rate (very unlike) you would know the length of the song from the file size/frame number etc. Then, since this would only affect the end of the...

Yeah Joe, it is a lot easier. Most of the time there is no entering of names because you just click "Play" and that's it. I'm not speaking of autOKdj but computerized karaoke in general. I can't see that a shut-down timer is a really great feature. Unless you're using Toqer's baton method...

ABSOLUTELY! The crowd is loud and they're drunk and they're fun and not an over inflated ego in the bunch. What harm is there in the exhibition of the odd mammary gland during karaoke? Half of the population has 'em and the other half like 'em.

Nope. If you can sing that's great. If you can't, then give it your best shot. The rotation is the rotation. However, unlike some earilier posters, boobs will do it. That's my currency. Most guys will give up their turn to see boobs. Getting the ladies to flash is my gimmic. But anything...

Ahhhhh....why?

Had all my singer histories in txt format. One would need XML for a history list why exactly? And I agree, if they don't put in a request they're not in the rotation.
