That was one of the first karaoke machines I ever saw in action in 89. Only at one place though - it was one of my first experiences. Most were using cassettes with binders full of lyrics sheets - and even fewer had the Pioneer set up with ALL 10 discs, they later up to 23, then 31 (later having to pull numbers 29 & 31 for licensing issues - later to be released as 34 & 35) - these were the ones I tended to frequent!

I think I’m down now to 7% from ebay replacements & several custom-made.

I can give you a lengthy answer but it might develop into a lengthy legalities discussion. I’ll just say “1:1 compliance”. Tracks must have originated from an original cd shifted to another medium only & must maintain ownership & possession of the orig. I think there was a recent policy change (change of mind from higher-ups) about request permission from Slep-Tone after shifting. Again, I don't want this to turn into legalities discussion as it has been covered in length extensively from other threads.

It's if he wanted to actually use them in the show is when audits would be a factor. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

If he is still playing off of discs no audit is required. They don't officially audit disc based kj's.

Only if he's using his original discs at a show and not his copies.

That as long as your client is paying their ASCAPP and BMI dues then it is covered.

I retired the tape deck a few years ago (2006 or 07), would occasionally have people bringing in a cassette, but it became so rare and I had most of the songs (same music versions oftentimes) that there was no point in the hassle anymore. I stopped using my tapes around 98-99. I have converted my laserdiscs to mp3-g. I still chuckle at some of the graphics from the lasers!!

I did a gig the weekend before Halloween, and the owner wanted to talk to me about staying on, though she did not want to pay me enough. Well, she told me that she hasn't paid her fees in a couple of years. Told me outright. I haven't gone back, since.
