I want every customer that I can get!

YEP!!!!

I absolutely disagree with this statement. I do not want customers who do not spend. I do not want customers who disrupt others. And I want to shoot the person who said the customer is always right. There are people out there that you do not want as a customer. High maintenence customers are not worth the hassle.

I consider a 'customer' as a spending person.

I have one bar that rotates 3 KJ', myself, one other company, and their "in house" system. I am the only one that is PC based so I get a lot of singers that bring their own cd's.

I started out just using their disc if I did not have the same version, I will not play a disc that is not an OEM disc.

About six months ago I purchased several thumb drives for those singers. When they give a disc I will rip their song, on a seperate computer, to mp3-g format to that drive. At the end of the night I give them the drive and they bring it back the next time I'm there.

They love it, I can keep the show rolling and still be "PC" based.

Unfortunately ripping their song to your computer is just as illegal! You must be in posesseion of the original disc to do so. I've had some singers that have given me their discs (for keep) to add to the computer AND my library. However those that want to retain posession of their discs, must continue to bring them in.


he doesnt rip it to his computer, he rips it to a thumb drive and gives them that drive so they can just bring that in and he knows thay have the original disc as he ripped it himself. not such a bad idea if you have that many discs coming in.



Exactly, I DO NOT keep a copy of the mp3-g, they get the thumb drive at the end of the night. I also tell them to let me rip the tracts so that I can make sure that they are ripped correctly.

Also, I keep a list of what I have ripped for each person that my wife checks against the thumb drive to check that there are not any files that I did not rip. If there is they must show me the disc before I will play it.
