Thank you and DavyDee. I have changed my folders should others download them. They will be online over the weekend. As BJ once said, can I remind everyone to click the "LIKE" button. I am sure people are used to doing it on Facebook etc., it increases your credit score. Thanks.

I remember back in the 80's, when I first started working as a host, the general feeling was that there would never be a need for more than a couple of thousand songs in a collection because someone could always find something they would like to sing in that songbook! When I finally went digital I was carrying around over 5,000 discs in gator cases (I never got used to those flip folder types, the fastners kept giving way!), and it was a hell of a time to rip all those discs, especially, as you say, the annying protections that producers put on their discs. I used to especially despise Sound Choice, who, as you mentioned really made it difficult to get to the last track on a disk... I had a bank of different Plextors, and a dedicated PC system (sort of based on the EK custom disc pc's you could find in many Karaoke shops of the time) because I found that some of the earlier Plextors coped with some disks better than the later ones. (Who remembers putting Adaptec SCSI boards in their PC's?) I even invested in a wax thermal transfer printer to label my working discs (I learned very early on that it was not wise to work with the originals - after having a flip case break on me damaging a whole load of Legends disks dropping edge on onto a cobbled street! - even though it was a risk to do so if caught out! As you also point out, having a well configured USB 'Windows To Go' stick, and a backup of your Karaoke Library and Main music tracks on a large backup SSD gives you far more lattitude in the event of a laptop failure unless you are a belt and braces guy like me who carts around 3 identically configured 17" laptops with registered copies of working software on each (You ever tried to de-register a copy of Karma from a failed PC and register the software on another when you are in a location with no wifi and lousy cell reception?) and 10TB of SSD storage in each for my Karaoke, Music and Videos!

All the DCK's are available HERE!

I'll take your 'originals all the way' with one major exception. For karaoke I always play Geri Haliwell's 'It's Raining Men' although when playing disco I'll use the Weather Girls' original. The WG version has too much talking and too many asides for almost any singer to follow, and they get in a real mess.
