hi hope your well
sorry if this is a silly question
but when you have printed your karaoke book and binded it etc
when it comes to adding new songs how do you put them in the printed book
as it seems when i add it shunts the pages by 1 or 2 do i have to reprint from that page onward everytime i add new songs ?

I'm surprised you still do books, I was one of the last to have books and that was years ago?
To answer your question I had color coded books Blue by Song Title, Red for Artist. To avoid having to reprint the books every so often I developed a purple book as well for new material. I used the KJ Pro to organize the material and printed the original copy, which I had office Depot make additional copies, and of course bought binders and completed the project. It is very expensive to have someone do the work for you, it is a matter of sweat equity. Most people today just tell the KJ what they want to sing, or have their own personal discs.

I always used binders and sleeves. I found that every time I added songs I would have to print new books when I tried binding them. I now use a remote requests service. Always up to date and cheaper than books or slips.

They get abused. People get their slimy, greasy hands all over them. Drinks get spilled on them. I have people just tell me what they want to sing, or I use the phone app. No books to carry with you and no more wasting money. For the people that aren't savvy with their smart phones, just give them slips and let them list the songs they want to sing. You can always set up a kiosk for people to turn in their song requests, or you can set up something using your smartphone, depending on which hosting program you use. But take it from my 25 years of experience... songbooks are not the way to go... especially during these times of Covid when they will be shared.

I agree with Alan especially with the COVID-19 reason for going remote requests. It protects both the singers and the host.

You're apparently not taking it and seem to know more than us who have much more experience than you. Not using books has nothing to do with who's using a smartphone. All they have to do is tell you what they want to sing, which has nothing to do with smartphones. Is that too difficult. I have stated all the reasons for avoiding using books, but if you want to waste your money, please go ahead and do so. P.S. Don't bother asking for advice if you're not going to listen to it.

dont get my sign up history twisted with how long i have been in the game etc etc please also note that in my contract it states the venue has to pay for any damages caused to equipment this also includes the books being destroyed. please note this thread was about the reprinting of books with new songs being added not scrapping the book altogether. ![Angel :angel:](./images/smilies/angel.gif)

as everyone in our town is not using there smart phones anymore due to the covid app they are turning locations off and all sorts Maybe for your antiquated brain. Nobody uses physical books in my area. In fact most just take the requests verbally without any means to know what they have but most also use you tube to be able to access any karaoke song that is available. Granted not everyone does it but most do. I don't use it. I still believe that physical books are on the way out not the future. I personally only see cons when it comes to physical books. Costs a lot of money to create, easy way to get the virus due to sharing books. Have to wait to update Pros to online lists Costs is lower. Can update instantly. If it's a remote requests app then You eliminate paper slips and miscommunication between host and singers.

I used books 28 years up until covid hit. When we returned I went strictly phone app and will be offering kiosks soon, but have pdf downloads on the website for people that want to look at old fashioned books - but electronically which are always updated to the day I add new songs. I may keep a couple books by request (when we can offer them again) for those that do not want to use (or dont have) phones but most are getting on board with the electronic method.
