It definitely does. I find only a few minor quibbles with it.

 1) I would like to see the manufacturer on the singer play list.
 2) It would be nice if you had a Restart button for the singer. If you have auto-rotate on and the song messes up, you have to press Stop, re-fetch the song, move the singer back to the top, then Go.
 3) It would be nice to have an auto-complete or pulldown for the singers instead of having to type the name every time.

All in all, it beats the others I have used (MTU, Sax & Dottys, JustKaraoke, AutoKDJ) in every way.

in answer to #3, I don't see why you need an autocomplete when all you have to do is select the name in the list, click add in the singer's que to add songs for the singer. I don't autodelete my singers if they don't have songs in in case they might walk back in or just wanted a break from singing. I just mark them inactive untill they come and give me a new song.  I just ran my first three shows with it and the only quibble I have with it is that I have to either wait two filler songs to get back into karaoke or hit stop at  the end of a song- haven't got the singers use to the new system yet so I can just start their song for them.  No biggie though maybe I'll get the hand off system that bamboo uses started eventually.

Absolutely. I am talking about adding the singer in the first rotation.

Exactly what I do.

We don't use filler music. I bought a TV theme compilation that I have used, but at my regular Friday gig no one cares about filler music. They want more songs per hour!

1) Check out their latest revision 1.70, its available to all registered users from their User's Forum. One of the many feature additions is the Manufacture ID included in the History and Song Queue.

2) It already has a Restart feature. Under the Host's Lyrics window you'll find three buttons, Play, Pause, Stop. To restart a song without disturbing the rotation, simply clcik the Stop button (NOT the big STOP button, the player Stop button under the Lyrics window), then click the Play button under the Lyrics window. The current performance will restart.

Danny, what do you mean you need to play through two songs to get back into karaoke? If the FillerTunes player is in AutoPlay, you simply start a Karaoke performance and the FillerTune will automatically fade away, regardless of how many songs have played. If this is not what you are talking about, be more descriptive and maybe I can help more.

Thanks -- I will check it out.

I definitely use that when a simple restart is needed. But that is a restart of the *song*. I am looking for a restart of the *performer*. To my knowledge, if you change the song in the performer's queue and try to restart, it will not work. I will try it again, though.
