Search song database by plain ole' filename?

Hi guys,

Evaluating Karaoke Pro, so far it is meeting my *every* need that other applications have not. Almost ready to pull the trigger on purchasing but I have one hiccup I need to work out first.

It's regarding song database management. When searching your database, is it possible to have the software search within only the filenames of .cdg/.mp3 pairs and totally ignore ID3 tags *AND* not have to manually enter the artist/title/etc for each tagless track?

I have alot of unrecognized (as in no ID3 tag) files that I'd like to be able to find and add to a singer's rotation based strictly on filename alone...without having to use the radio button option for "Add File" (because this requires I find where in the hundreds of subdirectories the file lives).

I know this is a feature of Virtual DJ which will search a directory for a keyword whether that keyword exists in tag info or just the plain ole' filename itself. Thanks guys!

The only way to do this in the current version is to select entire file name as title -- all files would be imported and then you may search the title, which is in fact a filename.
