i've been in the karaoke industry for over a decade and K jams is by far the best thing to happen to the industry since Madonna . I'm top of all of that Dave with Kjams has got to be the best tech service out there , with every stupid question I have is fast and efficient to respond to me whenever I need . Bottom line if you're thinking about purchasing Kjams for your business or home use think no more it's well worth it

kJams here states that it can import quicktime files like midi, and kar. On the actual website it says it can't play them. Why is the information misleading? Does it plan to add this feature? If it did have that I would buy it on the spot. I would like to play kar files so I can control the sounds, changing instrument, muting or soloing a sound. For now you have to have two softwares to accomplish this, kjams and Qmidi or MidiCo.

By far the best piece of Karaoke software out there, both on Mac and PC (and I've tried lots of them). I originally brought the lite version for my home setup, then upgraded to the Pro version (which included iPhone/iPad integration to choose songs from your iDevice). Excellent file handling and re-naming. With the additional burning plug-in it has brilliant, easy CDG writing. On top of that, a friendly, helpful, responsive developer who updates the program regularly and is very active on the forum.
