Hey!

Do you, or anybody else! have the King of Karaoke set?

I haven't heard of them before.

 

Thanks,

 

Lee.

There's not a set, there's no numbering of anything like that.

 

King of Karaoke is a YouTube channel

I had getting on for 2000 of them on my HD, but just sent an hour or so (that I'll never

ever get back) going through looking for spelling errors, mis-spellings, duplicates (like

Cheryl instead of Cheryl Cole, or Zayn instead of Zayn Malik) and I've reduced them to

1941 different songs totalling 15.1GB >> and I know that I've nothing recent from them,

I always relied on Scottie sending them to me (damn!! still missing him)

 

They can be easily downloaded from YouTube.

The Youtube "King of Karaoke" seems to be different to the home-made "King of Karaoke" set that Mee7532 has uploaded...

It seems there are two kings...

Listen carefully from 2'04 and you'll hear it. 

 

If you listen at 2'24 she asks what the name is and the reply should be Tax Mam, that replyt isn't there but all the laughter is, then when she asks if he is in Show Biz his reply is NO, and that bit isn't there, but as I said in the demo on KV page that is there.

I have looked at the YouTube channel and it is very different from the King Of Karaoke Homemade ( KOK xxx ) set that I have. The splash screens are quite different, as well as the YouTube appears to stick with current pop, while the Homemade one leans toward older Classic Country, with many being weak vocal reductions.

Yep.  Looking at them, the difference is one word "" THE""   

 

There's YouTube's King of Karaoke, and there's the HM The King of Karaoke; I do have a directory

of those but only the first four 'discs', and they're not my sort of stuff TBH.

 

I know that a lot of people love the 2nd name first naming system, but it can go very very wrong

if it's not supervised closely >>  I mean 

George & Georgette Jones Jones

Dierks & Chris Stapleton Bentley 

  and how about this one ??

Waylon & Jessie Colter (Fsolo) Jenning 

 

>>>  and that bad habit of deleting the initial 'The' (and sometimes the 'A' )in the title of a song

which some of them have; I mean, the song is The Father, My Son, & The Holy Ghost, and nobody

looks for 'River' or 'Rose > the songs are The River and The Rose.

 

And punters have to be really keen to sing a song to have a ghost echo from a VR karaoke; most

would prefer to sing along to the original I've found.

 

Right, rant over

 

At least the completist in me is thankful for the missing direcvtories that I shall never, ever, use.

The original "With Vocals" versions are included, and I have used these to make some viable & useable versions to replace the VR karaoke.

For those of you that collect them, I've just put up a couple of music torrents.

Yes, I cannot bear all the different naming conventions, even though it is up to each person how they want to do it.

Every time I get a new set, I spend hours/days/weeks changing all the naming so at least everything is as consistent as possible in *my* collection.

I just prefer "Elvis Presley" rather than Presley, Elvis etc.

 

I *do* still put 'THE' and 'A' at the end though. e.g. River, The.

I think this goes back to the days of printed karaoke books that were in alphabetical order by song title.

It would mean page after page of songs that began with "The"

Maybe I will change them back one day 

 

Some naming schemes, including the ones you mention, are just bizarre!

The only way to get things close to 100% consistent is to work with the whole collection at the same time and change things in bulk, but the last time I did this, it nearly killed me! working with hundreds of thousands of files at a time is mind-melting!

 

Also, It sounds to me as if you are getting the punters to search for the songs they want to sing?

If so, and they search for a song called "The River" and it is recorded in your database as "River, The", would your search system not discover it?

Would they literally have to type "The River"?

If this is the case, how does it handle different variations such as this:

 

Fool Such As I, A

Now And Then There's A Fool Such As I

(Now & Then) There's A Fool Such As I

A Fool Such As I (Now & Then There's A)

 

Would all the above examples not be returned on any given search that includes the key-words "Now" "Then" Fool" Such" in any order?

What software is it that the punters are using?

**(I am genuinely interested here - I am not having a go in any way!)**

 

I am still using bits of paper, or people just telling me what they would like to sing.

In some instances, people ask for completely the wrong title, but, because of experience, I know what they probably mean, and can usually find it.

I use Virtual DJ, and as long as your tags are good (mine are) the search is really really good.

 

 

 

Lee.
