Singers love to browse a catalog for a song to sing and in a dim lit venue nothing beats a mobile device. Colorful and easy to read, Karaoke Manager makes looking for songs fun and easy.
Singers can send their songs right to you the KJ. You see the songs submitted in the Admin. You can choose whether or not your singers can see the queue.(See Demo) You can rearrange the order to cater to new singers that haven't sung yet. (Move someone with a birthday up). It will let a singer know if their name or song is already in the queue. It frees you from trying to read chicken scratch on request slips or trying to hear someone request a song while the music is blaring. It takes care of these mundane things while allowing you to talk to your singers and enjoy the gig more. You don't have to print slips and have little pencils ready everytime you do a gig. You won't have to print a page of new songs everytime you add songs. A QR code to the site is all you need. Basically it just makes your job easier.
If you use KaraFun we'll supply you with a catalog that reflects theirs. We keep up with their updates every 2 weeks. Feel free to see for yourself if it has all their songs (with the exception of songs they recently added). Of course you can add all the other labels that many of you have stored in your computer. If a song doesn't exist with KaraFun or the other labels in your computer, there are many online vendors whereby you can just purchase/download the song during the gig and add it to your online catalog in one fell swoop. You're basically updating your catalog in real time and can download that updated catalog as a csv file for printing,etc.. This is the perfect tool for managing everything you've got as a KJ. It's basically an online/offline manager keeping track of all your karaoke song resources. With just a QR code on tables you can have your singers browsing this amazing robust catalog and won't have to deal with singers asking you if you have this or that.
If a singer comes up with no results in a search, they're presented with a form. It will already have the artist or song searched for in one of the fields and ask for an email. When the form is submitted you as the KJ will see a bell change color. You can immediatly add it to your online catalog after purchasing the song.
You can import songs or add songs individually. Getting your songs online takes less than a minute. You basically just import a csv file of your catalog. Regardless of what format your list of songs is in, Excel or Google Docs can convert it to a csv file, which you import in the admin area. (Click Here for video on importing csv file). You can add songs individually in the Admin area as well. You can also tag songs before you import them in 2 steps. If you use KaraFun, we can supply you with this catalog.
Give the catalog the same appearance and theme as your website or hand bill by adjusting the colors. Change the theme to go along with the seasons or Holidays. In the advanced version you can also import/use graphics. The basic version will still have the Gradient Feature. If you have a logo or graphic you can have that displayed at the top in the navigation bar. Much like importing your songs, graphic files can be imported and used. Images for the background can also be imported. See our video: Importing & Applying Graphics. There's no need to know any HTML, with just the click of a button you can assign images to be used as a background or logo.
Karaoke Manager is a web application, so you don't have to ask your singers to download an app (a simple QR code does the trick). You can also have your singers add it to their phone homescreen as an icon much like an app they installed. It also only links to your Website (or Meta page, Instagram, etc..) and for that reason it's a perfect SEO tool.
Why burden your singers with seeing the same song repeated even when the label is the same. See our video (Dealing with Duplicates), which gives an example of a KJ who uses Karafun in tandem with his own songs, decides to import Karafun's 659 Dutch songs to complement the 78 Dutch songs he already has. The import of course creates duplicates whereby the Kj can see the duplicates and either pick which ones to get rid of or get rid of all of them with a click.
If you have a company that's running 2 or more shows at the same time you can still use the "Submit Song to KJ" feature. The singer would just select the venue/party that they're at. To see how this works go to our "Submitting Songs Demo". You can run up to 4 shows at the same time.
You can create categories such as "Fun Group Songs", "Halloween Songs", "Duets", etc.. You can also decide which categories you want on top. For example if it's Christmas time you can have the Christmas category at the top. The singers themselves can save songs to their own personal list and categorize their own songs as well.
With a QR code, singers can scan the code on a table, handbill, flyer, etc. and be brought right to your catalog on their mobile device (No typing). QR codes are free. Most KJs/DJs now have a QR code for Venmo should they want to be tipped. But we've also integrated a PayPal option, which allows the singer to give a tip after they've submitted a song. The PayPal API let's you know which singer in the queue sent the tip. You see all this in your Admin area. Again this is an option you can toggle on or off.
It's always handy to get a CSV file of your catalog for printing or just to have it in any computer to see what you have without starting up your karaoke software. Many of you may have so many songs that printing them all may be unrealistic in which case it might be a good idea to just print your French songs or humorous songs (See our video on downloading a CSV file).
Host your website with Eppi Hosting for $20/month and this application (Advanced Version) will be included. We will upload your website and if you don't have a website you'll be able to create/edit a website from the same admin area you use to update/edit your online catalog. It basically takes on the same theme as your catalog. It draws on images from the same folder that your catalog images reside in. No knowledge of html necessary.
