external hard drives

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

external hard drives

Post by djgusmusictogo »

I am buying an external hard drive which already has a number of songs on it as well as some I-tunes and some Mp3's......will I be able to use the songs off of it with K-jams?? I believe they are all in CD+g format (all of the karaoke are CD+g)??

yes of course :)

when you do "add to library" to them, in kJams, it will ask you if you want to reference or copy.
you probably want to leave them on the external drive and reference them from there.

do you mean you want to copy them to the internal drive?
or do you mean you want to reference them where they are?
this is a critical question
drag and drop them into k jams
this is in fact the correct method. you can drop them on the kJams icon, or drop them in to the right-hand side of kJams (the tracks list)
but when you do, kJams will ask you "copy or reference" and your choice has specific consequences.
it shows that its transferring
what does it say exactly? please be specific.
but the songs don't show up in my play list
they will show up in the Library playlist and in the playlist you dropped them in.
if you don't see it, are you SURE you do not have a search term in the search box, which filters the new song out of view?
