I looking at setting up my dad with KJams and a new ibook to run it on. I downloaded and installed the demo on my own mac and went through the process of ripping in one of my dad's CDG discs to the library. All went very smoothly and played a couple of tunes from the library.
The one thing that puzzled me was that I could see how to shift the pitch if I added a song to the singers list (and did), but, couildn't figure out how to do this if playing a song within the library.
I ask as this is how my dad said that he would use the facility when playing out (too many singers and not enough time to create a singer name for each!). Or, is this the way that you should work with the venue entries so that you add it to the one you are currently playing out at (in terms of a process?).
Second question is a little less specific. I want to get an idea of how many songs you could store (roughly) at 160mbps per 10gb lets say? Something else that was puzzling me, once you have an Mp3 in iTunes and then you rip it in kJams - what is it ripping?:
- The mp3 into 'kTune's library' (and thereby creating a duplicate of the Mp3 stored in iTune's library)?
- Just the graphics part off of the CDG format disc and then adding this to kTune's library. If so, does it then just reference the iTunes stored Mp3 (so that effectively all the music you add stays in iTunes)
I hope these questions are too stupid
I'm trying to get my head round it on for my dad who is now champing at the bit having seen the possibility of having it all run on a laptop! I will register him here as 'Groovy Graham' when I hear back - he's not had a mac before and has taught himself how to use the windows PC I built him. His addiction to Karaoke is an impressive driving force!Also keep up the good work on kJams it was a very easy decision to make comparing the two.
