Thanks for that my friend. I will go learn to speak Japanese then I will understand it lol.

Jeeez, I thought that I'd made those step-by-step instructions

really easy to follow.

Ony reason that the explantion's so long is because I took the

trouble to explain what was happening and why it was

happening- takes me 10 seconds or less when I'm doing it.

I also believe that in the old Disc days, many KJ's limited their buying to only discs that would be useable, how many for instance do religious karaoke?, have a large Mexican Spanish following?. need umpteen versions of Christmas Carols?...

 

It is only in today's cheap storage solutions era that we are now treating our libraries as collections, something to be completed rather than tools of the trade...

 

For instance I only used to purchase EKi's discs because they were released more frequently, but now I also have all the EZH's too... go figure!

sometimes the old DOS skills and batch commands still come in useful!

 

dir *.* /A-D /B /OEN /S >\\%MYDOCUMENTS%\List.txt

This is the way (hmm cyclamen, not tried this colour before) that I

do it:

open a DOS box by right-clicking on the Start button and clkicking on

Commend Prompt.

 

Navigate to your karaoke drive and then the Zoom folder - in my case

that would be by typing Y: (that's the letter y followed by a colon) and

then pressing [Return] to get to my Y: drive where my karaoke lives.

 

My Zoom PCP discs live in y:\zoom\pcp - so that's what I type in next -

the screen prompt now looks like this

 

Y:\zoom\pcp that's drive Y: directory zoom sub-directory pcp

 

I get a list of the directory content by typing dir which gives me a list

of the directories in zoom/pcp; it'll give you a lot of detail buy pytting

in the /b swicth (b for bare) like this dir/b gives you just the directory

names; to get a list of the content of all of the those directories use the

/s switch (s for sub) like this dir/s/b and if you get even braver

and specy the type of file that you want included in your fiectory search

you can specy it easily by typing that in like this

 

dir/b/s *.zip which selects just the zip files.

 

You'll now have an on-screen list of all of the zip files in all of zoom/pcp

it's sub-directories but there'll be so many that the list will shot off the

top of the screen - don't worry that can be sorted using the /p (page)

switch.

 

But that's not we're looking at, we want a list of the files don't we ??

 

So we can send that list of zip files by redirecting the output of that dir

command to a file rather than your computer's screen, if we want to

send it to a text called (say) PCPfiles you we do this by typing

 

dir/b/s > PCPfiles.txt (you could send it to another directory

if you want by putting a different directory path in front of the

filename).

 

 

You'll now have a text file named PCPfile,txt in you PCP directory, do

with that what you want - edit it, copy it into a word file or a

spreddsheet - whatever takes your fancy :)

 

 

You can't get much clearer and with the demo as well, even I could follow it (which is a minor miracle). 😊

I was using VirtualDJ to DJ between the last and the next karaoke singer while using Sax n Dotty so the transition was fairly easy.

That'a what my guys do now. With VDJ playing music videos when there's no singers up x
