I'll wait for 3 things: 1) .WAV format 2) WAAAAAY lower pricing 3) Confirmed licensing Til then I remain Luddite

I would be all over this if it gives me ala-carte "KJPro" type delivery of SC songs not already on the GEM set. This would be the only way i'd get on board. Don't need the cloud - if becomes the absolute only way to get new music for the show, then I might have to reconsider, but at this time absolutely not. .wav doesn't matter as long as they are ripped in 320, over a good system/sound card, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. I have been running my laptop with Alpha along side with my discs - no audible difference when comparing the same songs, same levels, same eq settings - and that was with a 192 kma/wma file. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

Agree... but keep in mind that an mp3 file can be converted to wave Personally, I can clearly hear the difference between a wma file at 192k versus a wave file, and I'm surprised Lonman can't hear it

Agree, plus not to mention that a WAV file can take up to 12 times the hard drive space. It's why the MP3 was invented.

Yes, one can convert an MP3 to .WAV, but one cannot replace the information lost in the original MP3 conversion. Changing to .WAV doesn't put it back. .WAVs are only "lossless" files if the conversion is made to them in the first place. That being said, it's all about personal choice. Let it lay.....

You can't hear the "lost pieces" as they are obfuscated by other frequencies. Google "Psychoacoustics". Simply because it is a "lossy" format, does not mean anyone can actually hear the loss so whether they are there or not is moot.

I should point out that most of my venues are upscale restaurant lounges, and that I usually work at a lower volume than in these more quiet places....Just an observation. Why continue a discussion that always ends with subjective points of view remaining unchanged? To each host his/her own....

It was brought up - by you with the wav statement!
And even in a quiet restaurant setting, over a good PA at LOWER volumes the difference is even going to be less. PA speakers are not exactly the best for accurate reproduction like a studio monitor or audiophile speaker.

In wav format the cloud would have to be a Cumulonimbus cloud. It certainly couldn't be a nice fluffy cumulus cloud.
