Hey Silver Fox. You have some great ideas. Since it's too much rigamarol to do what y'all are doing with the jukebox I use a different method. (at least, I used to) I use BB strictly as a creation tool. Then I use RB and a couple other tools to finish my backing track.

There is another program I use (can't think of the name at the moment) that has a very cool karaoke system. I can make my karaoke tracks by first laying out the words on a sheet. Then with this karaoke tool I can time the words to where the music is playing simply by clicking the mouse at the apporpriate spot. When finished I can save it.

Now for using the karaoke track. (Man I wish Pgmusic would change the Lyrics writing into this type of system.) Anyway, I can then take all the songs I want to use in a gig and import each name into it. I can hit play and the words jump up on the screen. It will read in any direction I want so it's perfect for me.

Funny. I just went on a google search and couldn't find the software. They may have gone out of business. They used the name, "Daly Lama" in it when it opened. I have it on my studio computer so I know I have it.

Anyway, back to my arrangement. I can load whatever song I want in whatever order I wish. I can grab a song in the list and slide it into a new area to play now if it's requested, etc.

It has its quirks too. wink But it's mostly just dependable. If I stop the song for some reason it will resume when I hit the spacebar. It's just simple in operation.

Anyway, that's how I do karaoke. That's my story and I'm s-s-s-s-t-tickin' to it. grin
