I would like some advice on a setup which I would like simple or as dumb proof as possible.
I have been using a CAVS 203G for the past 2 years which is disc based and can be a hassle and time consuming messing with discs looking and finding...real pain!
I am looking at a upgrade to a player which allows you to install songs from Karaoke discs onto the machine and then run machine menu and song words through a TV monitor/projector.
I would like a smart machine which allows me to cue the second song ready to play for the next singer if poss. I have very little budget so please bear this in mind please. I am open to all ideas which make it easier I am not a tech head!
There are hard drive machines available but they are much more expensive than standard karaoke disc players. Expect to pay $600 or more for a basic model. They are also known to not be very user friendly ("dumb proof").
For less than $100 ( a little more if you add an external hard drive) you can turn your laptop into a karaoke machine that is easier to operate and has more features than any hard drive player. Hosting software offers features like song search, singer rotation (cuing up a list of singers), singer history, venue history, next singer display, remote monitor support, filler music, etc...
