CompuHost is MP3G and WMA based and will not play KMA's One big thing to consider is that MTU plays files ripped to KMA format and will play many other formats. If I had to take a newbie with little computer knowlege and put them on a machine with minimal training I would pick MTU. Not that difficult for someone who understands technology or working with software. 3-4 shows and then you have got the hang of it. New release that will challenge this, but I cannot comment on this until I have seen the working version (bug free)ĬompuHost - More complex initially to operate than MTU but it is very feature rich and will naturally have more to think about.
MTU - is the easiest to use and has a very intuitive layout, but currently lacks in the rotation management side of things. But those are the top three, and Compuhost is the best by a good margin. When Siglos gets more time out there, and MTU's new version ships and has a year to get the bugs out, my mind may change. For instance, the software just has to guess that a key change has been made - there is no feedback from the key change module as to whether it took or not.Ĭompuhost, hands down. I don't recommend Winamp as the underlying host - too fragile in connection to the hosting software. I also have a couple of Winamp-based packages. It has much better search than MTU Hoster, which is retarded in that area. Use it to communicate rules, advertise upcoming events, run beverage or menu specials, whatever you want. It tacks a message onto the end of the singer queue, so the singers are *always* watching it. I show four singers, and add my new singers at the fifth.ģ) It has a promo trailer feature that pays for the software in a few weeks. You can select the nubmer to display, so you don't have to show a huge rotation with all the changing around in the background. Most important for Compuhost is the communication with your singers.ġ) It has built-in ability to play video and audio pieces on command, with fades and audio overlay.Ģ) It has a scrolling marquee under the lyrics area to tell singers who is coming up. And it is all-in-one - no extra pieces of software to get besides a bookmaker. It has great rotation handling, and many little features that make hosting simple. I looked at them all before deciding, and to me it is clearcut. I own MTU Hoster as well as JustKaraoke and Siglos Professional. * Automatically manages errors associated with the Zipped Karaoke Files.Ĭompuhost is the best I have seen. * Option to mark files that are corrupt or bad. * Backup Play List saved for System Recovery. * Options for customizing the captions and colors on the Splash Screens. * Next Singer and Singers On Deck Splash Screens. * Option to automatically remove tracks from the Play List. * Continuous Play controls to pause in between playing tracks. * Key Changer with auto features for setting and resetting the pitch for tracks in the Play List. * Play, Pause, and Stop buttons to control playing the selected track. * Column for the Singer's name, and pitch. * No need to specify any file format when building a database.
