1. Can we please have an option to take the loading screen away... its the ugliest part of the program (thats a compliment - freebox is pretty, but the load screen is gross)

2. Can we have an option to play karaoke in the main screen right away without clicking on now playing and then the little screen on the right. quite confusing for a user if im not around. Basically when people play karaoke...its just karaoke... they usually dont mix it with music...always at the end of the night when people are drunk :)

I will add an option to always play karaoke full screen but the splash screen stays. I might add an option to skin it maybe to make it look better but that is where people can see what software it is and who made it.

you could always get a second screen! hehe.  then you never have to look for the words they will be conveniently larger then life whereever that screen might be.  ;D  i wouldnt have it any other way.

Dragnit does have a point, to be honest you really should hook it up to a second screen using TV out on your graphics card.

no its a portable box that me and my friends use for parties, family events etc
adding a second screen would require a rebuild as well as extensions which would make it harder to transport

Not at all. You could hook up a wirless video sender to the TV out of the graphics card. Then all you would need to is hook up the reciever to the TV where the party was and you would have your second screen...

It's only a suggestion obviously.

Barry,
Did you add an option for automatic full screen karaoke? I have a juke that I use for outside parties also. Is there anything else I need to install to make the karaoke songs work? I put a couple in and they showed up, but I didn't hear or see anything.

Thanks....
