My singers show up more than an hour before official start. I start entering names and songs immediately and almost always have at least 15-20 songs and singers in cue 1/2 hour before start. There have been many times that I have 40 songs in cue, silence trimmed, and ready to go at the push of a button. Try that with a cd player. To top that I run all music through Breakaway Audio processor which normalizes every song so you don't get the surprise volume burst.

I use Breakaway as well on all my karaoke music - there is no comparison with discs in that respect, all the music is processed to be normalized on the fly (the multiband eq is very good too), where when I was disc based I had separate compressor/limiters on each player to help keep the volumes in line & I still had to adjust the processors or mixer to blend the volumes to stay in the same levels.
I still play customer cd's and I have a compressor/limiter inline for that reason. My A/B switch sits right on top of it.

Do you think it is possible to get a virus this way? Home burned cdg's?
Absolutely NO way to get a viruse played on an external player. Slight to non-existent chance that someone would bring you a virus laden disc that would damage your computer if you have the auto play shut off. Nothing I'd personally worry about, I play songs from peoples flash drives too.

i do this as well. they LOVE not having to bring in discs anymore and just carry a tiny flash drive instead. i have even ripped the discs for some of the older customers who don't know how just so they can leave the disc book at home. kinda funny when they look at me and let me know that now the old kj is the inconvenient one making them bring in discs because they can't or wont play the flash drive.
it also saves me a ton of money. where they would not go buy a disc for one song anymore, they are buying downloads of songs that no one else will sing so i don't have to.

While I have no CD drives in my show laptops, I too have played from USB drives on occasion.

Like Lon says, if you have Autoplay turned off (which you should anyway...it's a PIA!) you have no chance of catching anything...provided you aren't clicking on things you shouldn't.
