Ok, so I quickly capitulated and purchased KJams Lite after trying it out with my new Plextor External drive.
Now the question is how to integrate a show. Right now I am extremely reliant on MegaSeg - I use it for virtually everything in my DJ shows, and I would like to see about integrating Karaoke without having to run 2 programs.
At the moment, it seems that the best way to do that is to export the Karaoke files to Quicktime, and then index these into MegaSeg with a "Karaoke" category tag. This way I can simply hook up a video monitor and use MegaSeg as my Karaoke player, right?
I'm guessing there must be some who are already doing this. What options are you using to run an actual Karaoke Show in MegaSeg? In other words, is the KJams lite export sufficient quality to put up on a big screen? Is the audio quality good enough?
I'm particularly concerned that KJams is ripping to MP3, and then compressing the MP3 audio to Quicktime, giving a double-lossy effect, but I haven't played around with it enough to know.
Would the trick mentioned in the "Burning" section of the Wiki also work for Quicktime export? In other words, if I import a disc, and then Convert to Quicktime, will it do so from the Cache in full quality? Then all I would need is to balance the Quicktime settings for quality vs. size.
Sorry for the extra-long post, but I want to get some feedback from others before I start a process and realize it's all wrong and I have to do it over again!!
