I go to karaoke shows and LAUGH at the flaws I see with DJs (or wannabes) trying to use two separate programs. I'm not saying that to kiss up, I'm saying it because I've tried all the other 'professional' packages and found them to be crap.Īs far as Winamp, if you want to use that in your show, go ahead. However, if you want to offer your audiences more, such as video and music, VDJ is the premier package. If you want to be JUST a KJ, then VDJ is NOT for you PERIOD.

VDJ has added all the features a DJ needs. To much messing and not enough listining to the paying customers.VDJ Coders please fix this bug and bring back our deck to deck mixing. It seems to me that we are being fored with features we dont want like off the mac and the features a lot of us do use are being taken away. Take a look at the new Show Presenter which used to be sax and dotty, the same happened there. The best version in my opinoin was 4.3 also has flv support through the video decoder for utube ripped files. It seems this is not the case, and in my opinion as a boni fida legal user that vdj is getting worse, now we have lost the ability to mix deck to deck and manually using the keys instead of the mouse. Logic would then tell you (being a programmer myself) that the decoder for zipped files in vdj is just crap ! This was also the comment of Djcell at the time, and I was assured in time it would be fixed. This was actually proven as all the mp3+g`s that didnt load into vdj in fact loaded ok in winamp (sax & dotty) pcdj, clubdj/pro and most other packages. After much lengthy discussion, with djcell it was agreed that the problem laid with the mp3g decoder in vdj. Ok listen up, going back some months now all the way back to ver 3.4 we had the same problem, being that not all zipped mp3+g files would load into vdj. One other problem might occur if the files inside the zips are not labeled properly, you could end up with thousands of similar disks names thereby overwriting them (with assent given) and losing the data.īack up and test small groups, but I think the procedure outlined in my blog will do the job for free, this is a known issue across multiple programs that do karaoke professionally.Īs and afterthought, you could NOT unzip them until a singer requests them, then copy them to a special folder on your desktop, and perform the action as needed. You should be able to unilaterally unzip all files and then re-compress them if the zips are in one folder, however, if you have the folders separated by disc number, then it becomes exponentially more difficult. You can't use 'MAXIMUM' you have to use the default settings (I think it is a 5 out of 10)

The problem that you are experiencing IS the compression ratio you use. My blog outlines the proper way (free) for zipping karaoke files.
