💠 𝕆𝔽𝔽𝕀ℂ𝕀𝔸𝕃 KARAOKE ENTHUSIAST CHAT

[Hazz]

Before the digital evolution,Broadband & internet what did we all do about collecting our Karaoke?
I myself relied on our local Karaoke community ( a few company's that did discos etc) to share our discs we had bought (usually monthly issues).
In the early days in North east UK we only had access to DK & Sunfly , we never heard of Sound Choice or ChartBusters.
To Copy Karaoke discs you needed CDR-win & a compatible Reader/Writer that read subchannel data.
Who would have thought we would have our entire CD flight case on a USB

Hmmm, not too sure about that at all - largest affordable USB sticks
even right now are 512GB.

I remember struggling with 2 large plastic boxes filled with disc folders,
and those '400-disc' folders which burst at the seams when less than
three quarters full, and before that my 55 Laser discs and two Pioneer
laserdisc players which were temperamental as hell and had to be
treated very carefully.

And I remember the local karaoke shops charging an absolute fortune
for the American discs.

And paying exhorbitant prices for Plextor or Yamaha drives to write the
discs with, and then only at 1X speed with nothing else happening on
the computer.

But I also remember the heyday of £350 gigs and not backing down on
the price.

And then I remember when it became so much easier to copy discs, and
every mobile disco in the land had the same 60 or 70 discs and called
themselves 'karaoke/discos' - with one mic that both they and the
singers used - and no echo or reverb.

And every local singer on the circuit doing the same, and monopolising
the night, giving other singers very short shift.

And then the price collapse when all of the previously-mentioned
undercut our prices - I mean, if you're a pub landlord then a karaoke is
a karaoke innit??

They're all the same quality ain't they??

An' no they couldn't understand why karaoke nights weren't packing
them in any more.

An' so what if the karaoke played disco most of the night and had their
girlfriend and/or best mates singing half the time.

Yep, the good ole bad ole days

Following on from this, I certainly remember the fat floppy folders full of karaoke discs, I've never been a karaoke dj for hire, I have a bar and only present karaoke to my own customers (I don't have to carry all the equipment and discs around, nor set up and take down) If a group of people come in and want karaoke, I can be up and running in 15mins. I remember though, having to make and print a good number of songbooks, some in Artist order and some in Song Title order, containing all the disc numbers (that were written on my discs with permanent marker) and lots of supplementary pages added for every new disc purchase. Karaoke song slips and pens also. These days I don't bother with songbooks, I tell them if it's on karaoke, we've got it (95%+ of the time it works) Thankfully karaoke is still quite popular here with holidaymakers.

Then my advice is to test it STRAIGHT AWAY, unless you can test it earlier than that.

One of the programs here should do the job, H2testw is the one that I have used in the past.

There are many fake capacity USB flash drives on the market that claim a particular capacity, but only deliver somewhat less than this (particularly the

Yep dammit. Songbooks had passed my mind.

Inches thick and stinking of beer. Thrown across the room by drunken students.

Pieces of paper torn off the list for requests because they were too bone idle to use the
request slips tucked into the covers of the books.

Pages pulled out so that they can come across the room to show you a song.

I deffo don't miss songbooks.

Congratulations then. But I for sure wouldn't trust it.

That would make the price of solid-state hard drives look vastly over-inflated.

2TB Sandisk sticks go for about £160 on Amazon

it reads 1.93GB....try writing (copying) a total of 32GB worth of karaoke files and movies...most likely when you retrieve it its no longer there....there are firmwares embedded on the chip that fools the O.S. your using the exact number of capactiy, when all it really does is overwrite the previous early copies like a loop...you're lucky if you even get at least 32GB...mine only got until 16GB...i've used h2testw and chipgenius and researched the flash ID code of the firmware detected for the true capacity/capability of the chip/firmware
