New Karaoke collection

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Just about to start my Sunfly Hits CD+G karaoke collection.
I plan to start at SF001 and see how far i get. good job christmas is coming up as i have a feeling it cold include alot of Sunfly:rolleyes: .

Does anybody else think this would be a good way to start off my collection of karaoke tracks? Is Sunfly any good?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I've always liked Sunfly, but opinion seems to be split.

There are some great deals around on whole collections if you have a Google for them.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Can't find any complete collections online. tryed googling in but just came up with torrent downloads and i want legal, original CD+G's

And links very welcome:D

Well, you didn't say you had a budget and to be honest £1674. divided by 260 discs is less than £7 a disc which is a bargain if you do have the budget!

EZ Karaoke do a 6 disc package which includes the most popular karaoke tracks...then buy a few up to date ones to cover the newer songs

Blimey, it's taken you almost 2 years to make your first post! ;) :D

Welcome Mark - say hello in the newbie bit if you like. :)

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Sorry to ask again but is there any chance you can provide a link to the 6 CD EZ Karaoke pack you mentioned my search came back with nothing useful:o .

Well i'll admit this time that i didn't mention any budget. point taken.

and £7 isn't bad for a karaoke CD+G but i've found somewhere that is selling them for £5.99each with no P&P which i believe is the best i'm going to get.

Or can anybody give me links to any other good karaoke starter packs.

You did, about 2 hours ago. :p

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

To be honest with you the best way of starting my collection still sounds like starting on SF001 and working my way up. I know for christmas i maybe getting 20 Karaoke CD+G of my choice:D .
Thats Sf001-Sf020 sorted then.:p

Then my birthday comes not long after christmas:rolleyes:

[h8ytr]

that is the worst way of starting really....you will be missing so many popular songs if you start from the beginning of sunfly....

Spud, when I started my collection I got these http://www.ukdj.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=1752
and have since added chart karaoke to it, got the broadway one aswell as there's stuff the "senior" element like on there.

That's a good price at the moment, give them a ring they can usually do a bit of a deal.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Thanks for the link Spirits High :approve:

I like your thinking thats a very good idea. It seems as all the main karaoke tracks are included in these disc sets. so your saying with these 3 packs all i will have to do is buy some new upto date karaoke tracks and that will be my collection sorted?

Are they good quality with out the backing tracks sounding to corney?

I have never heard of this karaoke supplier before so am woundering how good they are.

[Vibrant Sounds]

For up to date tracks check out the Mastermix Chart Karaoke disks, at the moment they are on offer for a £5 each, there are only 10 of them and they start in 2004 to date. Very good versions too.

Songs wise they give you all the main tracks you'll get asked for and the quality is good.

As for the chart stuff "Vibrant" is spot on they're the ones I get to keep up to date.

I now have probably 1000ish tracks which seems to be ok. You will find some Kj's on here with literally thousands (Jay in leeds) but I seem to have managed on what i've got.

I added the Broadway pack as there is alot of Joeseph, Phantom type stuff on there. Had a kid doing "Tomorrow" from Annie the other day the grown ups loved it!

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

I've been looking at the Mastermix Chart Hits but in my opinion they seem a little pants:o

But i do like the idea of these

http://www.soundlightuk.com/Mastermix/kk2002.htm
http://www.soundlightuk.com/Mastermix/kk2003.htm

They are like the best hits of each year which seems a great idea but what happened to 2004,2005,2006,2007?

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Well last night i spent £207 on the Xtreme Karaoke Party Packs 1,2 and 3.

So thanks Spirits High these collections seems perfect to get my collection of to a good start. There perfect to what i need. I'll let you know what there like when they get deliverd.

Still don't know what CD+G's im going to get to add new tracks to my collection to get them upto date.

Also i was just wondering i would like to back them up and run them from laptop can somebody please give me some ideas of how i would do this and what format they should be ripped to? AVI, mp3+g, BIN, ZIP?
I am currently using MobileDJ to play Music from laptop i would like to continue using this program but am unsure how to add karaoke tracks.

One last question when i try to rip tracks from CD+G is there anyway that it can file the file names, track names, artist e.c.t automaticaly or do i have to manualy enter all 36disks by hand:bang:

Please help.

To convert your CD+G disks to MP3+G You can try CDGRip (http://www.kjtools.com/cdgripdl.html) (free) doesn't work with all CD/DVD players though (even when it says it does) a much better (and quicker) option is Power CD+G Burner (http://www.powerkaraoke.com/src/prod_powercdgburner.php) costs about £20.

I use Compuhost for playing out my Karaoke files and this cost about £130 when I bought it, if I was starting again now I would use the Siglos Karaoke Player/Recorder (http://www.powerkaraoke.com/src/prod_siglos-karaoke-player-recorder.php) which costs about £25 or if you buy it together with the powerburner it costs about £40 for the pair of them. Both very good programs with good technical support, and at £20 odd each to my mind a bargain.

Power CDG Burner should find and itemise the tracks for you, to do this with CDGRip you need to buy a copy of Fastracks which costs £35 for the cutdown version and £50 for the full version. No brainer really.

Good news i already own Power CD+G Burner:banana:
I bought it last year but then didn't find any use for it and totaly forgotten i had it. I didn't know it automaticaly finds CD information such as artist and song name in the same way as Itunes finds CD information. I just hope thier database contains details on the Xtreme karaoke party packs as i really don't feel like typing out 720 tracks.
So when they arrive should i rip them to BIN or mp3+g?

I think the KK Chart hits were done after the event, so it was easier for them to choose a good selection of tracks from each year. The Mastermix Chart collection started in 2004 so from then on they have produced 2 or 3 a year depending on the tracks. Most people want the chart stuff now, and a track that was at number 1 in Feb will not really be wanted the following year when the annual disk is released. And £20 or £30 a year isn't that hard to find to keep reasonably up to date surely?

Up to you I suppose, but most Karaoke programs want CDG or MP3+G so I would probably go with MP3+G @ 320kbs, Oh, that's what I did do:)

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

To be honest i dont like the sound of saving a single karaoke track as 2 seperate files as i have found when mixing 2 karaoke tracks tougether the audio becomes out of synx with the graphics therefor is useless. this could be due to the software i am using.

i will test this with my new karaoke CD+G's.

Anyone know where i can download a .pdf file of all the tracks included in the Xtreme karaoke Party Parks that i can copy and paste them into my karaoke book?:rolleyes:

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Is there any such thing as:

The best of Karaoke 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000?

[MATT08]

HI just before i do go ahead and buy from cookies the starter pack is this ok
for sound and quality lot a money to be spending, how do it live upto sunfly and all the other good names?

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Personally i would say it's about the same as sunfly and other major CD+G brands. CD+G format is never gona be perfect visualy but these are as close as you'll get and to be honest most singers don't care bout the quality as long as they can sing over it and see the lyrics unless you get these semi pro singers.
