- Create Multiple Song Books or Custom Books and
Mix CD and Song Title information between them. This means that if you
want to create "Kids Only", "Country Music Only" or
"Christian Songs Only" song books, then it's EASY!
- Context Sensitive Help Information for every
screen in the program! Just click the Help button for info on every
object in KSB.
-
Searching doesn't get any easier!
The KSB search feature allows you to enter any word or phrase then
automatically search all relevant fields at once. For example:
Searching for the word "Alabama" locates all the songs by the band
named "Alabama" and the Lynard Skynard song "Sweet Home
Alabama". You can enter the name of the CD, CD Number, Song
Title, Band/Artist Name, Category, etc... and search all these fields in one
pass!

- Once you locate songs, they can be instantly sorted
by any field including Track Number, Song Title, Artist/Band, Category,
etc. by simply clicking the grid title. Double-click a song title and
instantly display all the songs on the CD the where the song was found.
- KSB has a variety of "canned" search queries
that will display, All Duets, All Vocal Tracks, All Favorite Tracks (These
are songs that you can mark as personal favorites), All Duplicate Titles and
more!
- Print Multiple Reports in Multiple formats sorted by
Song Title, Artist/Band, Category or CD Title. Take a look a the
samples below...

- And... KSB is still under development... We plan
to add additional song book formats with different looks and layouts to
release in the next version.

- In addition there are special reports for
printing Request Slips (Request slips can be customized with your text.),
Inventory Lists and Favorites Lists (Favorites Lists are your personal
favorites with CD, Song Title, Song Track and Key Step setting information.
- Even more printing options allow you include or
exclude Duplicate titles and Vocal Tracks. You can even print Duet and
Vocal track only lists in any of the available formats. A
special feature for the KJ Pro allows you to print lists of song titles
added to the songbook database after a certain date. This allows
you print "update lists" without having to reprint all the
copies of your entire song book!
- KSB allows you to manage duplicate titles in your
song books. There is always the possibility of having two
completely different songs with the same name, so KSB allows you to flag a
song as "inactive" When flagged this way, it will no longer
be included in any songbook unless you want it to be.
- And There's Even More Printing Options! KSB
supports Duplex Printing (for printers that have this ability) and
automatically "Mirroring the Margins". This feature allows
you print double-sided while automatically shifting the front to back
margins to leave space for binders. (To understand this clearly just
download the demo and give it a try using Print preview) You can also "brand"
your song books with top and bottom header text to include company name
and contact information.
- Printed Song Books Can Be Exported to PDF and HTML! Click
here to view or download a PDF song book created by KSB. PDFs allow you
to easily distribute your song book in a secure file, while HTML allows you
to easily incorporate your songbook into a web site. Song Book data
can also be exported and imported from CSV (Comma-delimited Text) files
allowing you to easily share CD and Song Title info with other applications
such as other karaoke songbook programs, spreadsheets and databases.
This feature also makes it extremely simple to "backup" your
songbook data so it can be moved to a safe location.

- Adding new CD and Song Titles to KSB is easy!
KSB has a huge database of Karaoke CD and Song Titles along with an easy to
use interface that allows you to quickly locate and add new CD song titles
to your song book. Primary fields are indexed so that results are
returned within seconds. This interface also collects statistics on
every CD in the database including how many songs on each CD are duplicated
in your songbook. This information can be useful when deciding what
CDs will give you the most unduplicated songs before you buy them! The
KSB Master database is categorized by genre and has duets and Vocal Tracks
pre-flagged.
KSB also gives you the option of automatically in-activating duplicates as
they are added to your song book so you don't have to hunt for them
later! This screen also has a very special search feature called
"Full CD Song Title" search. To use this feature, you enter
multiple words from different songs on your karaoke CD. The program
will then return CD titles where the multiple words are located within any
song title. This search is a little slower, but is very accurate and
usually returns only one or two matches.
- Not only does KSB have it's own karaoke CD/Song Title
database but it also incorporates access to CDDB. The CDDB (Compact
Disc Data Base) is a free internet based service that provides easy
access to song titles from over 500,000 CDs. The system works by
simply inserting a CD into your CD-ROM where KSB will scan it and retrieve
the CD and Song Titles into your computer. For this feature, all you
need is an internet connection. CDDB has over 500,000 CDs in their
database. CDDB works equally well for karaoke and regular audio CDs
making KSB ideal for cataloging your audio collection. All of
the sample songs in the Karaoke CD Collection demo
were retrieved from CDDB.
- KSB supports CAVS data and includes many of the popular
SCDGs in the Master Song Database. CAVS data is treated just like
regular CDGs and can be mixed with standard CDsb in the same songbook.

- KSB has a powerful Import/Export facility that
doubles as a simple way to make back-up copies of your song data. If
you are currently using a spreadsheet, database or some other songbook
program, this facility will allows you to import your data directly into
KSB. It can also be used to export selected songs from one songbook
and import them into a different song book.
(Note: The KSB Master song database is copyrighted and may not be used in
any commercial enterprise that competes with "Karaoke Song Book"
directly or indirectly. Custom songbooks created with KSB are excluded
from this prohibition.)
- Another way cool feature for the KJ Pro or anyone
hosting a KJ party is the "User Look-up Mode". In this
mode the KSB program becomes a search and request application designed for
users. Users can use KSB to search for songs without the ability to
change any data what-so-ever! The program locks down so tight that
even if it is exited and re-started it will remain in User-Mode and can only
be exited with a password you provide.

- Another Major Feature of User-Mode is the
ability to allow users to select the songs they want to sing and then
automatically submit them to a queue that the KJ can view and manage.
Ideally, all you need is two or more inexpensive laptops connected via a
wireless network. At your next party just have all your friends bring their
laptops and then the whole song request process can be automated with the
benefits of KSB's powerful search facilities!
- When KSB is being used in "User-Mode", the
KJ can monitor songs as they are entered into the queue and delete them
as he announces each singer.
