Cool! Thanks Marty!

I just downloaded it and I am going to check it out. I like the idea of checking for duplicates. That feature is what I want to use to determine which discs to get. I want to minimize duplicates as I start up my business for budgetary reasons.

Thanks Again!

Patrick

Patrick, I saw one question in one of your posts that never got answered (at least not that I could see). Ref the Music Book Deluxe. I swear by it. I used to use msworks data base so you could just enter things, then sort by titles and print it out, then do another sort by artist and print it out. Its not a bad way to do it. But now that I'm using the MBD, its just so much easier and quicker, I love it. The question that didn't seem to get answered is once you pay for the MBD (used to be just over $100, then went to like $99, but has been on sale at a lot of sites, some of which advertise on this site, for $49) you get free updates for 90 days or something like that. Following that you can get a yearly subscription to the updates. The yearly subscription isn't that much, $29.95 or something like that, is well worth the price, plus its tax deductable anyway if you're in the business. Say what you want about making backups of your book data base etc. Sometimes things happen where you lose it and can't get to your backup. As easy as MBD is to learn and use, it was well worth the $100 not to have to rebuild the entire book manually. One final thing - from what I've seen, MBD newer versions (which you'll get) don't seem to have near the problems as some others I've seen and heard about as far as errors in the listings etc. They are pretty good about being consistant and correcting any errors. I'm very happy with it.

Ron,

I have downloaded the demo, but haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. One of the things that turned me off about it was the price. I think I saw it for $129 on the company website.

But if I could get it for $49 and yearly updates form only $29 it would certainly be worth it!

Thanks a bunch for the tip, Ron. I will let you know how I like.

Patrick

I think I can mention this as they're currently advertising on this site (If not maybe Phil will remove it) but Karaoke.com recently had it on special at 49. I just checked their site and its back up to $99, so maybe shop around, but even at $99 its not bad. Well worth it as far as I'm concerned. Good luck.

Gee Ron I tell them about this great stuff 4 days ago and NOW they listen?? GEE.. I must be Swiss Cheese...

Well Brian, sometimes swiss cheese is good. At least it's not raining

well that does remind me of the Judge Judy saying.. "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" but you know me better than that.. When Haven't I never delivered without reason? Don't answer that one!

Hey Brian, no offense intended! Ron just elaborated a bit more on the subject.

BTW: I like Swiss cheese!

Patrick

ps. Do you have a mackie mixer? If so, I may be seeking some help here and there. That is if you would be so kind. I am just setting up my system now.
