I just had a thought and wondered if anyone had an opinion on it (dumb question! )

So, here it is....I have heard songs sang on SS that have a really good back track. Better than the one that I have....so, it would be kinda nice when you sub your song to have a spot to write the Disc name and Number that was used. The same as you do for the song name, artist name, Description ect..

What do ya think?

I'm going to speculate that not all the backing tracks used are from a 'standard' disk. I know that a lot of people purchase custom discs which wouldn't have any information that would be pertinent other than the manufacturer.

Nearly all the tracks have the manufacturer at the beginning (except for K-Tel, and perhaps a few others) which could be listed. Even if you're bootlegging tracks off a P2P network you would likely know who made the track since there is usually a splash screen at the beginning of the song. I haven't seen too many tracks that have been redone by a company so most would remain the same from that manufacturer.

IOW, I'm recommending a box just for the manufacturer in the sub...

Thoughts, Phil?

In my opinion that is not a feature that will be used as often, neither will everyone add the information. Why not just PM a person if you like their version of a song instead of working Phill into the ground?

Allstar!

Working Phill into the ground, was not my intent.

I just simply had a thought and shared it.

I wondered what others thought.....you thought I was asking too much.....thanks for sharing your opinion. But I will state again.....

Working Phill to the ground was NOT my intent...But I have a feeling you already knew that.

i use p2p to get my backings and in all honesty neverheard i wouldnt have a clue what companies they came from...i know the tracks sc and then followed by numbers are sound choice...well at least i think they are...i am not a kj or anything so it boggles me a bit...i just search the song i want and get the various backings and see which one i feel is closest to the original song hehehe.

actually be nice if someone posted the different companies and what their songs begin with, and maybe some of the kj's would put their input into what they think are the better backings.

myself it's not often that ive chosen a sc track and its been dire other than perhaps some of their disco/dance tracks.

anyways i am sure i have now gone right off the subject in hand neverheard sorry but i have noticed that if i listen to my own recordings on here to check they have gone through ok on the media player the number comes up of the track...but ive never taken much notice if that does it for everyones.

I can not believe that I'll do this to myself again but here goes...

NHOH - I agree it would be great to get that info on some of the subs in the description - there are some backings out there that are really good and it would be nice to know.

AllStar - it would be nice to be able to pm some people and ask for that info but some people never check their pm's and don't use that feature.

SO.... here's another suggestion.

Since we have a bajillion characters now in the comment box, I thought if I come across one I like I'll just ask it in there and hope that person will contact me either in the reply or whatever other methods they use to give me that info.

I also agree with Missy that I'm not sure on the numbering scheme other than SC for sound choice. Where on the disk does it have that info? (having a brain vacation moment and maybe askin what some consider to be a dumb question)

<<Climbing out of hole in the ground, looking around like a ground hog >>

What someone say something?

AllStar, thanks for thinking of me. Actually, that is probably an easy thing to implement.

If there are only a few manufacturers (I am uncertain of the quantity) I could list them in a drop-down selection box then they could choose. If there are more than ten or so then I could just insert a text box where you could type it in.

Whew, give me easy ones like that. Some suggestions are real intense! I have to actually think - Gawd forbid!

Missy, this has been discussed over and over in the Discussion Forum. Pretty much everyone who starts with a karaoke system ask this question (with VERY good reason) because nobody wants to spend money on crappy disks.





That is a pretty sad reality (ps. I got yours )


Exactly how many characters?????


Phill, don't get all girlie on me now please I was just trying to be nice, but obviously that turned you into a big softy

S O F T Y !!! - Why I oughta...

Nevermind!

I think, I'll just create a text box for people input Manufacturer name & Track # if they know it.

Phill

you could have a drop down box, or simply a small box, ten or twenty characters max, that you could put "Pop Hits Monthly" "Sound Choice", etc.

the drop down box would work, but then what do you do with "odd' Tracks, such as "Sing To The World", "Easy Karaoke", or homemade.

OR, even, God Forbid, ask in the comment section and the singer can tell you which one! !

((EDIT)), see, as I was writing this up, Phill already figured out what he was going to do! !((end EDIT))

Sorry, I saw a little puppy and that made me just weak for a moment . I'm back to normal now.

Hey Matt... copy cat (read a few posts up above)--- SMILE --- sometimes we do think the same -

Great Idea... glad to hear its not too hard to roll out (least ways, not for Guru). I've heard backings I love... and others that, well, I wouldn't bother with.

Some people will use it (me me!!), others won't, just like a lot of the great features on this site.

Speaking of PMs... When you're in the showcase, is there an easy way to pop off a pm to someone? I've been wondering over hear (forums), surfing around until I find the person I want (hoping they post now and then), and sending PMs that way... kind of a pain.

Yeah, that's another feature I've been wanting to add. The PM in SS.

I will probably do it so it is a pop-up window or open new page though so you won't have to completely leave SS and go to the forums to send a PM.

Put that on my list...

Currently, you can send them an email... this goes through the system. Has anyone been using that?

OP? Why in the world would you wanna talk about PMS?



Yes it is kind of a pain if you really need to know..



I had to.. My mind went there & my fingers had to follow it...

chk, chk...... Foxy

i just rolled laughing reading this, cause after my comment neverheard sent me the abbreviations list and my eyes nearly popped out my head when i saw how many there was....so when phil said he wanted a list i knew what was coming lmaooooooooooooooooooo...tooooo funny hehehehe.
