get intouch with a local printing firm am sure they would help to make you some sort of booklet ;)

one of my local bars has the booklet and the entertainment machine, but the company which provides the all in one entertainment machine updates the booklet each month, and they buy them in aswell, but ive forgot what the machine is called...

Of you go down the route of getting a printer in, go down the route of laminated sheets (for drink spillage) and get the book binded. If you get fixed bound (staples, glue spine etc) then the book will be out of date quick and expensive to uopdate. Binded means you can add extra pages easily :)

you can add extra, but it would be a mess, i would just reprint each month...

How? We use spiral binds in most of our documentation at work. All you do is open up the bind and add/remove pages as necessary. If the formatting is the same on each page then no one is any wiser :)

how would you get the tracks in alphabetical order??? if your just adding new pages...

i suppose you could just reprint every year...

[Dynamic Entertainment]

Do all the A's, then start the B's on a fresh page etc etc. That way you dont have to print any more than one than a few of the alphabet categories again. If you but one fresh disc a month, that no more than 15 new sets of letter categories to print (at a maximum, counting on there not being 2 artisst/song titles beginning with A for example)

but as you add songs, the list gets bigger, so you will loose songs off the list.

I would like printinged bookeds

but have no idea where to look :(

Just tell them you have everything apart from the ones you haven't got and to write it down, chances are you'll have it. Books get messy.

I have a few books as a rough guide to what is available. I tell people that if they can't find a song to write it down anyway, or come and see me, as the up-to-date list is on a spreadsheet and I've got one master book - creeping up to 300 pages at the moment (and that's without duplicates) so it's much too expensive to reprint everytime I get a new CD+G. Reprints get done annually.

There's hundreds on the list that don't get sung. But we market ourselves as having a huge range to choose from including rare, hard-to-find tracks that no-one else has and the response from people when you have their special song that the last guy didn't have is really pleasing.

Besides, one day someone might just ask for it and I'd rather have the tracks then disappoint the punter.

That's the way I work, anyway!

We use KJams for karaoke, we rip our cd-g's directly to KJams which does everything for us after that, including the ability to cut and paste our song list directly into excel to make our books however we want.

Do KJams do a PC version now or are you using a Mac?

[kjdiscos]

I use tricerasoft song book, The best one i found if you have ripped to cdg on pc, As it scans the actual files :)

And allows u to print by date, So you can have a new additions page towards end of book, Then do an annual reprint
