and by the way, it's "kJams", not "K Jams" :)
and please go to my web site forums, i rarely check this site.

What is the best external dvd burner you have found to use with your mac for KJams?
Thanks
http://karaoke.kjams.com/forum/
but the answer is: Get a Plextor Q840U

I have read a few of the criticisms of kJams here, but I can tell you with complete confidence -- the leading PC karaoke software can't hold a candle to this package.
If you own a Mac and like karaoke, I have two words: buy kJams.

2) i have my own forums, please use them instead
3) or email me directly, which i much prefer
4) with a small library you should do fine. see the system requirements on my downloads page
5) yes you can plug in a TV and put the lyrics screen there

I am hoping later developments will help simplify the ripping process but overall, I am impressed.
I like the keyboard combos to trigger pitch and tempo controls and they worked nicely.
I ran the video to a second monitor which likewise, worked great! This is turning out to be a solid product and I'm looking forward to see its continued deveopment.
Recently I made it so if you unawarely chose "Add To Library..." (instead of "Rip") and then navigated to your CD drive, it will "just work", so newbies will get the "do what I mean" behavior.
What else should I do?

I have since tried ripping tracks using LAME and it is quite a bit simpler.
I did have one idea I wanted to pass along though I don't know if it can even be done... It would be a nice feature if I could select a 640x480 pixel graphic to replace the black screen between songs. Basically to have my logo come up between singers instead of just the black screen.
Just a thought.
Good work anyway... You will likely be getting my money very soon *grin*

Is there any possibility of a demo of the burning plugin in the future? I'm a little cautious about buying it without knowing with 100% certainty that it will work with my system.
Next question. As I said, I have an iBook G4 that I use as my DJ system but because its optical drive is not CD+G compatible, I have to rip them on my G5 which is no big deal. I'll be storing the ripped files on an external 160 GB hard drive and my question is, can both computers reference the same k-Tunes library files (primarily the XML files) so that the actual import to library only has to be done once?
Hmmm... This seems to be venturing toward tech support. Perhaps it would be better for me to email you...
P.S.: I bought k-Tunes Lite last night. Thanks :)

The burning plugin is already "tryout", you can download and install it for free, and it will burn discs with max 2 songs on it, so you can test it out.
You can have your entire library on an external disc, and move the disc around. Just drag and drop your ~/Music/kTunes/ folder onto your external drive (the one that holds the music). Then, on the ext. drive, select the kTunes folder and make an alias, now place that alias in your ~/Music/ folder (on both machines). Make sense?

Please write directy to me if it doesn't seem to function as advertised, ten times out of ten it's a simple step that was missed, and then I have the opportunity to make it right for you AND update the documentation so this doesn't happen to prospective future users.
Thanks. - dave

Part of the purpose of MacUpdate is for the people who are using these programs to post their comments and reviews as a reference to those who might be interested in downloading it.
I would suggest that you try not to take it so personally when people comment here with less than heaping praise for a program that is not even finished yet.
I know that this is an unfinished program. I know you are working on it. I understand that you can not do tech support via.MacUpdate.
This is what you have available now. This is the version I tried and these are the experiences that I had with it. I don't think my comments were out of line.

After watching the development here for well over a year now, I decided to download it and try it out. I tried my iBook G4 as well as my G5 desktop with the same results... I can't import my MP3 and CDG files. I followed the elaborate instructions on the website, re-naming the files to k-tunes specifications (an intense pain with the number of tracks I would be using), zipping the MP3 and CDG files together... to no avail. I still can't import tracks. I want to be able to drag and drop the songs just like I do in iTunes.
Another concern, I find the lack of documentation with the software annoying at the very least. Documentation os only available via he web which is inconveninent in my opinion.
I want to be able to run my Karaoke collection on my iBook, with the MP3 and CDG files stored on an extearnal drive (the iBook only has 40 GB to start with). I still think kTunes shows the most promise for allowing me to do that eventually, but at least in my experience, it is not there yet.
And by the way, please take the time to find out what kind of release schedule a piece of software has before posting possibly erroneous information.
kJams, for example, has releases sometimes three times a week. By the time you've told the world "it doesn't work" there may be a new release that has fixed the issue.
Also I'd very much appreciate bug reports sent directly to me rather than blogged to the world, thanks.
Anyway, it is working now. Btw, I have written an email to you (from your website form if I remember correctly) as well and haven't had a reply yet.
