Karma does the same thing without 2 decks..... so take that

More flexibility with two decks. Soon as a song is over on the 1'st deck the second one is ready to instantly and smoothly start the next song. This is all done automatically. A real DJ program like Virtual DJ will always have 2 decks. Pretty useless with just one.

Karma is ok for playing bumper music. What it sucks at is ease of creating playlists. There's no filter options other than type and search. So, you can't filter by year, genre, beats per minute, year, date added, (you know, all those fields that are pretty important to playing and sorting music), all things that would make creating playlists much easier. Also, karma uses a proprietary format, .kpl, invented by hack programmer. I've suggested to him to make it handle .m3u playlists because most people that have ever created a playlist with other programs have them saved in .m3u format. It would be so easy to import already created playlists, or playlists created in other software like Virtual DJ, where it's so easy to create CREATIVE playlists due to the power of its browser and filters. Of course, the hack shot it down. Because the hack's a hack. Hackers gonna hack.

You are correct Don it does not function well as full out DJ deck..... however that was not question. The question was "Filler music handling, compuhost or Karma??". We both agree that Karma does an adequate job of that

But just like Virtual DJ, it sucks at karaoke. Are they hacks?

You know what I find interesting...

I understand this man has insulted, ridiculed and not been very nice or very helpful to the very people who have supported him and purchased his products.

It would be like you as a host, insulting your customers by telling them they can't sing, should not try to sing, don't want to hear them sing because their singing sucks. Would you do that to the very customers who come out to support you week after week and keep you in business?

Yet, you people continue to use Karma. Especially when there are better choices and better support.

This is not open for discussion and I really don't want to hear your defense for Karma. It's about business, common sense and decency.

I guarantee, if you treated your customers the way Bob treats his, you'd be out of a job. Yet, you people continue to kiss his <span style=font-size:10px><i>(@$%&#!)</i></span>.

I don't know about others, but since the program works and I paid for it, I'm going to use it.

Are you one of those that burns his $100 jersey when your team does something you don't like? What are you proving, other than you like to throw away money?

Creating filler music playlists is part of filler music handling, in my opinion. I can't speak for compuhost, but I most certainly can speak for Karma.

I have wasted or thrown money away on many products that I didn't like. Or found out that they just weren't cutting it. Rather then keep them and use them and not be very happy with them, I end up replacing them with the better product. The one I should have bought in the first place.

Sometimes you just got to chalk it up. I personally, won't continue to use a product, which was a mistake or inferior, just because I already bought it.

My filler music consists of approx 1000 cds from Cab Calloway and Etta James to Metallica and queensryche to country old and new to to pop yo new wave to ..... all on random shuffle on auto play through my dj program. No playlist. Like said it's on less than 30 seconds between singers as they swap spots on stage.

I think i'd go with Hoster if it didn't require changing the file extensions. I do like MTU's products i have (microstudio and an external i bought from them years ago).
