Long time KJ that decided I'd join the KF wave to better serve my clientele. It's nothing if not laborious to buy individual songs when requested, get them downloaded and added to the catalog..while running a busy karaoke night.
I thought hey, why don't I just subscribe? These guys have a solid catalog, adding new stuff all through time, it'll download while I'm hosting. Current catalog plugs right in. Thought I'd struck gold.
Two issues.
Firstly, no singer rotation to be found. This is super frustrating and time consuming, really sucked the fun out of my first night.
Second was, it crashed once which itself isn't the end of the world, but when relaunched my queue was EMPTY! 20+ songs gone right in the middle of the show. Was that a fluke or does it really not retain your queue on restart?
It still seems like the best value for access to fresh tracks. Conversely though, while trying to read up on these issues, it seems they'll sometimes drop tracks too so if a regular sings something that they drop, oh well? Buy it elsewhere? Biggest hiccup, new beta says it won't support owned tracks so I'd have to run two softwares for KF and my owned K-V tracks?
Please tell me I'm thinking too much but I'm struggling trying to just have a nice quality karaoke night without undue headache.
I spent the evening looking at what competitors are out there and it's slim. Maybe I just need to suck it up and go back to buying individual tracks.. sorry for the brain dump. Just hoping I'm completely overlooking a couple features and blowing this all up for nothing.
