(First choose "other…" from the popup menu, and then browse to kJams in the file selector.) Next, paste the following code over top of where is says "(* Your script goes here *)". Change the "Service receives selected" popup to "no input", and "applications" to "kJams". You can open Applescript Editor and paste the following code into a new script window, and save as an application, and then run as you would any other application.īut better yet, open up Automator, select "Service" from the template choices on the opening splash screen, and then drag "Run AppleScript" from the Library onto the Stage.
#ADD SINGERS KJAMS FULL#
Well, I can't do anything about the kJams end of things, as that functionality is not currently exposed to an API like Applescript, but what I can do is automate the rest.Īfter a full 1/2 day of work (mostly since I am a lousy programmer!) I managed to get the following working. Accessing it is kinda a nightmare, involving going to the Finder, drilling down until you find the right singer folder, creating an alias, and then copying that alias over to the current venue folder, followed by changing venues in kJams, and then changing it back again in order to force kJams to reload the current venue's Singers folder.
#ADD SINGERS KJAMS SOFTWARE#
Sometimes, it's easier to blame the software for something not working when the user has no understanding of what they're doing.So with the advent of "Venues" you may have run into the situation where a singer from another venue shows up out of the blue at the current venue, wanting to see their history list.
#ADD SINGERS KJAMS HOW TO#
So, don't discredit the software because you don't know how to properly configure CH to work with mobile devices. To me, it looks like kiddie software by comparison. Don't know why you're having such a hard time with it or why you need the venue's internet.Īnyway, like I said, if Kjams is what you like. Once done, they can access your song library, search for songs, artists, and submit them.
#ADD SINGERS KJAMS PASSWORD#
All they have to do to connect put in the password that you provide. Your customers' mobile device should find your network. This can be done with ANY mobile device (laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.) Once done, and CH is accessing the network, anyone can access it to remotely send in their song requests.

You do need to set up a network using a wireless router. As long as you have the Kiosk Add On, it's a piece of cake. No they dont! And you don't need an internet connection, either. So those singers need to use laptops, setup in the bar to gain access. kJams also offers the TriceraSoft store built in, 77 thousand songs at your finger tips.ĭoes kJams have flaws? Yea, slow database search being the biggest among them, once Dave get's that taken care of I think, I'll make the switch. However after several very out of sync songs, I will no longer use the service on any software package. For non-iPhone users, there is an option for iPads, which can easily be protected.Īnother great feature of both packages is the built in "stores" both have Karaoke Cloud and CompuHost also has a non-online version, KJ Media Pro. This is a feature that my singers really want and wtkJams does it elegantly. Not only does this easy to use "kiosk" app allow singers to remotly request songs and to see their history, it allows the singers to view the songs in their queue. The server is built into kJams 2 and there's no set up, start the free app and it finds the venue. To me the real the power of kJams, is the iOS app, wtkJams. Oh to only have a nickel everytime a heard a singer say "I put it in." Often the laptop users don't press enter on the final page, Key Change, and CompuHost's kiosk resets without sending the data. To use it with their phones it requires the singer to type an IP address into their browser and Android's default browser tries to google the IP, so those singers need to use laptops, setup in the bar to gain access. CompuHost's implementation is expensive and klunky to set up. Modeling his sofware after iTunes means that if you know how to use iTunes you already know how to use kJams.Ī great feature of both packages is the ability to provide remote song request for the singers, and they love having the capability. Meanwile Dave, the owner of kJams, is and has been very reponsive and active in developing his software and kJams 2 shows it.

Heck you can't even discuss those bugs on their forum without getting reprimanded or kicked off. the black screen after playing a video, ending of songs cut off, the "select" rotate mode bug, etc. All karaoke software has bugs, but unfortuatly CompuHost support is slow to non-existent i.e. As a professional KJ who uses CompuHost at all my shows, I agree it is one of the best.
