Hi Steve,
for a bit of background, I have worked with around 9 different types of jukebox / background music systems over the last 15 years within a commercial environment. and yes, I agree that you cant please everyody all of the time, the amount of times our customers have requested changes and i have had to tell em, no way, it is what is, without even going back to the developers has been many. I admit it was my bad assuming that the Karaoke side of things worked like all the others, i thought when we initially tested the enterprise version of pubjuke that it did work like all the rest, obviously i didnt pay enough attention to the intro / start up of each karaoke track like i should have. I agree pubjuke is pretty cool. The JMC is great (although i do use 2 other programs to tag and so forth before ingesting into pubjuke, but this is mainly that I feel more comfortable using those programs) the fact that the music can be scrambled is spot on in regards to what we are after so we can have some control over who uses the music we supply. The interfce customisations are sweet, and being able to use with a coin mech will allow us to supply for party hire and pub's and clubs. So thats all the good stuff, and the few negatives we have experienced with file types and so forth we can live with and do a work around (like the CDG files not working and large files not able to be scrambled) but i still think that the karaoke having that delay is a pretty big thing, i wont say it renders the karaoke side of things useless, but it has the potential to be a big thing, surely you would agree with that?
Is there any chance of a workaround / update being added to a list for future reference and can donations help speed up the process?
I'm not a programmer, but i reckon to some degree I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into even making what might seem like a small change to software and how those changes can have a flow on effect to other aspects of the system.
But you never know unless you ask and I do appreciate the time you spend conversing with me and explaining things.
Maybe X amount of license purchases can get a software change or something? (just a thought)
Ok ive had my rant for the week and its friday over here so looking forward to a quiet beer this afternoon and more jukebox preps!
I hope you have a good weekend steve, and anybody else that is reading this.
Cheers Guys
