Hi. After a lot of experimenting, and anticipating possible problems by using Siglos Karaoke Pro for a Live Show this past weekend (as requested by the club owner) I must report that Siglos Pro did an outstanding job!

However, there are a couple of simple features, that in my opinion, would make Siglos Pro a solid gold Karaoke / Live Performance application.

1. In Karaoke Pro mode: The ability to save (export) a Playlist to a folder of my choice, and the ability to be able to Import that folder at will. I know Siglos basically does this now if you back up the data base file, and overwrite the automatically saved .db file etc., but that seems like a lot of confusing, and unnecessary steps, just to import a Playlist with Pitch, Tempo, and History.

Also, Or, the option to recall a Preset (as it is now) and have Siglos NOT delete the songs as they are played, and have the ability to just highlight a song, and click play now (or next), and keep the Playlist in tact. In my experience doing shows, there's always somebody that needs to get in front of somebody else for whatever reason or insert Happy Birthday out of the clear blue sky (oh crap, now I have to think). At this point, the "disable" "enable" then delete the inserted singer etc., tecnique gets to be a bit much on a busy night.

2. And, Or, Allow Siglos (in Playlist Mode) to be able to memorize Pitch, and Tempo... Siglos would be (IMHO) the perfect Karaoke / Live Performance application.

Summary: More user options for 'Presets' (export/import/highlight-Play Now, keep list in tact, don't delete played songs) , less automatic, more user defined.
Memorize Pitch, and Tempo in Playlist mode.

Thanks.. just my 2 cents

Presets are brilliant - I use them for our 4 hour Duet performances (usually about 60 songs) - set up in estimated order but I also have another 200 songs in the preset to draw from if I need to change them around on the night. When we are practicing and setting up our preset it is a pain that the song disappears after playing. I have to hand-write a list with key changes etc and then bring up the original list and move all the songs around & add new ones etc then save it again. Also when we are doing the performance, when the songs we have sung have disappeared (or I've clicked "go to next" in a hurry to change the song) it is annoying not to see which ones we've done or have a chance to bring it back again. So it would be great to have an option to keep the song in the preset after it has played please and also show that it has been played. P.S You guys are great the way you take on board what everyone asks for - Siglos Pro is a great system!
