TJ Bosshardt - B.Y. Entertainment

I could have bought a PC for much cheaper and a free or cheap Kj program but I refuse to do anything other than Mac and kJams you are a genius / angel! Anything other than Mac and kJams is a waste of money. I have been a KJ since the late 80's when we used tapes then giant lasers and have seen this phenomenon through since the beginning and kjams is a dream come true. Nothing can match kJams. (I'm a girl so Will You Marry Me?) Also, when I was shopping for a program last year, I wasn't rich enough to gamble money so when I read your program warning about possible bugs I thought twice, however, what made me gamble on it was the fact that you seemed so upfront and then all the testimonials. You can add mine to the list of your love letters! The only thing that beats the actual program's performance is your awesome Tech support. Thank you.

Eric Shoaf - Good Vibrations Mobile DJ Service

I am a professional part-time mobile DJ working the high desert. I recently decided to upgrade my PC to Apple.

The first problem that I encounter was finding a karaoke program that would read in my kma files. Next was to find a program that functioned in a live karaoke venue.

I searched the internet high and low, but could not find a program to read the kma files until I contacted kJams. I was surprised in the quick replies and support from kJams. Dave Cotter worked with me every step of the way to ensure I could use my older files with having to do any conversion.

The technical support given by Dave Cotter, has been outstanding!!! I would highly recommend for anybody looking for professional, easy-to-use karaoke program to tryout and purchase kJams!

You will be glad you did!

kJams is AWESOME.!!!!!!!

I am a professional full time Disc Jockey, Singer, Entertainer and Karaoke Hostess and having a reliable program to run karaoke on my MAC has been absolutely amazing! I looked around for years and was so pleased when I came across kJams. You must buy this program if you are a MAC user and need to run karaoke. I'm not kidding. kJams to the rescue!!!!!

(Personally, I wouldn't use a PC to run any professional music program if my life depended upon it - - yuck)

I am not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination. I learn in the trenches out of necessity. I like programs to do what they are supposed to do and often I expect "said program" to read my mind. kJams always does what I ask and usually can read my mind and it's only "in development". Imagine what will happen when it's "finished".

Dave's customer support is beyond belief. He has always been available for tutorials and tech support and has more than once rescued me from my own stupidity - - - all the while being patient and friendly. He gets 100 gold stars!!!!

The program is simple and very, very user friendly - - - like many MAC programs. . . .and it's mostly idiot proof - - - thank goodness.

As a cabaret artist, I can create "playlists" and line up all my chosen songs, in the proper key and "have at it " for a cabaret performance, either cueing the songs to go back to back without my interference - - - or pause until I command the playlist to continue if I have any dialogue to deliver. You can even use the Apple Remote in the palm of your hand.

Yeah - - - here's a cool feature - - - once a song is in a playlist and a key is designated - - - kJams remembers and always plays the song in the proper key. Think of it as the band that can't complain about the key you wish to sing your song. Bonus - - - you can create as many playlists as you need.

Bottom line. The best money I ever spent for a karaoke program - - - hands down. It's worth double the price or more!!!!!!

If you have a MAC and need to run karaoke - - - buy this program!!! Don't wait! It's brilliant!

If you're sick of the "skips" and "stutters" and "freezes" of PCDJ - - -buy a MAC - - - then buy kJams

FYI: Many internal DVD drives don't recognize CDG discs, therefore importing is impossible. I purchased an external DVD drive, the Plextor PX-712UF and have had no difficulty ripping CDG's into kJams.

I have been using kJams Pro for over four years and have found this program to be the best KJ program for the Mac for running a Karaoke show. I have followed this program through most of it's developmental stages and it just keeps getting better and better. It plays Karaoke tracks with far superior fidelity and accuracy than the best hardware Karaoke machines on the market, even when the key is changed several steps, thus allowing the singer to hear his/her track undistorted in the key of his/her individual voice range.

The kJams interface keeps your library extremely well organized enabling the KJ to make playlists for individual singers and to play individual tracks with a single mouse click - far more efficient than hunting through CD folders for discs and placing in and removing from a Karaoke hardware machine enabling the KJ to "keep the show going" without any "dead air space."

Even more impressive than the program itself, is the technical support given by Dave Cotter, the software creator of this ingenious program. I have limited knowledge about computers and Dave has provided the most prompt and generous tech support imaginable, even three to four hours at a time in telephone and computer remote control tech support! I have never received such tech support from any other software vendor/developer! Dave's tech support is unsurpassed!

Therefor, I highly recommend kJams! You certainly will be amazed by it's wealth of features, quality of sound and phenomenal tech support!

(after a new release)
Thanks so much David, can't wait to check out the upgrade.
I can't imagine kJams being any better - I freaking love it!!!
It makes my life as a part time KJ so much easier.
Thanks so much for a phenomenal program as well as your phenomenal support!
sincerely,

Richard

I have been using kJams for about 1 year. It just keeps getting better. As far as I am concerned, this is the best program I've ever seen for computer Karaoke. The tech support is especially excellent. Some time ago I had a bug related to UNICODE. The problem was really vexing and prevented me from creating song lists. Dave took the time and was concerned enough about the bug to remotely operate my computer to discover the cause. It was fixed immediately! All of the features work even though my CD burner is not on the list (La Cie 15X CD/DVD). The program is feature loaded even while still not even in the beta stage of development. Keep up the good work. When the final version is ready, I'm ready to buy.

Dave

Based on the overwhelmingly positive response you must get from all who have benefited from and enjoyed your product, it's tough to imagine how I can add to that in a significant way...much like the voter who wants to be heard but realizes his vote is just one among millions. So I hesitate, even though I've been using KJams for a little while now and will always consider it the best $40 I've ever spent. How much more encouragement can you take? Your commitment to developing such a piece of software whose core users consider indispensable is more fueled by passion than recognition. But, in the end, I would be remiss. It's worth a try. So here goes. Thanks, Dave. KJams is the shit.

Hightower

I had a problem with KJams tonight and reported it to Dave. He found a bug, and is going to fix it (video/music sync). Thing is, he was working with me on this at 3:00AM eastern time! He is the man when it comes to customer service! ... I thought I'd give him the kudo's now!

Later that day...

You must be the hardest working man in show business! Went to bed at 3:00AM and posted the fix at 10:00AM the next morning. Wow. There are a lot of companies out there that could learn from you.

Sean Trotter

Dave,

I know you cannot hear this but you are getting a standing ovation right now!!!!!! You will probably get tired of hearing from us, but my partner emailed you earlier, and I have been playing with your demo version of kjams pro for about 30 minutes, and I had to send you my regards as well. We have been searching for a while, and [...] saw that we could try it out, we got excited, but that does not come close to describing what we are feeling now. If you could have gone into our heads and made exactly what we wanted, this would be it. There is nothing missing.

If you in the Northeast, you have dinner and or drinks on us whenever. Thanks for what you are doing.

Thanks Again,
Sean

P.S. please quote us: "This is the best karaoke software ever...seriously"

You are the most dedicated shareware author I have ever seen--KUDO's once again, you rock! Best software $$$ i've ever spent. your product was literally an answer to my dreams, and.. it just keeps getting better. It was a FANTASY of mine to have itunes--for karaoke..and then it was here. having a lot of fun with it and it's totally changed the way we do karaoke. Super impressed by the continual tweeks and updates of the product--on the path to perfection. Customer satisfaction/support is phenomenal as well.

Then like a year later...

You are the most hands-on software developer I've ever known. Kudo's again for unparalled support. I've never seen 110% commitement to buyers like yours.

Stephen in Savannah

David, you are wizard. This program is really coming together. [...] I'm a blessed man having this program available to free me from lugging around a big pile of CD's and inserting and reinserting over and over. A few clicks on the search finds a song instantly. And it works very well other than some of the gig weary discs that were covered with scratches and hamburger grease. [...] Even the professional Karaoke machine I've been using had a hard time with some of them. [...] For my applications, so far you program is just what I've needed. [...] I remain committed to your kJams program. There is little else that can compare to what you have achieved in the Mac world.

Chris Bigelow

Thanks for all your help. Had I not had it, my new business would have floundered on day one. [...] I am using kJams extensively on my laptop for professional applications. [...] It worked admirably well in my gigs. [...] So, you've got yourself a lifelong customer for kJams, straight up.

Bruno F.

This is the best customer support I've ever seen. [...] Thanks for your continued support Dave.

Then later...

I have always admired those who not only invent, manufacture, sell, but more importantly stand behind their product. After the first glitches (mainly the result of my not reading the manual/FAQs), I happened to realize how dedicated to kJams Dave is. But it was only this week that I realized the extent of his committment to his customers' satisfaction. After I ran into a weird bug, Dave offered to call and spend the necessary time to fix the bug. Although I was a bit skeptical as to how he would do that, at the time said he was on the phone, took control of my Powerbook and spent a couple of hours debugging the situation. Result: the bug has been fixed. All with courtesy and an unbelievable patience. This guy knows what he's doing and he's such a fast typist :-) His last sentence of the chat session was: "It's my job, and I love my job". Dave, it shows! You're a God. Thanks again for your support. Bruno

Joe Paradis

Thanks for your help.

Your product, like your service, and like Apples products, are the berries.

I will let others know of your kJams. It is a good thing, this softrware.

The best to you.

Then later...

About a year ago (?? how time flies) I sent my first testimonial of only a few good words.

Since then I have loaded about 1800 songs inot kJams.

I have also shown kJams to PC people.

One in particular is going to buy a MiniMac just to use kJams.

Everyone who sees your product is amazed how good a product it is.

It is the best software purchase I have ever made.

I use it every day.

I do not know what competing software packages are out there but I don't know what they could offer that I neede or woudl want--except burn capability and you will get there with that.

Thanks for your genius and I look forward to your future enhancements.

Aurelius Prochazka

kJams has been one of my favorite Mac OS X programs since the day David released the very first version. Before kJams I kept a Windows PC around just for Karaoke, but I've never needed it since! But what's really amazing about David is that he not only made a Karaoke player, but he made the gold standard by which all others must be judged. kJams is now rich with great features like playlists, speed controls, pitch shifting and more. Great job David!

PJ No Dot

[after learning of the Burning plugin:]
Will you marry me...............I think I'm in love. You rock so F*ing hard!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love kJams!
And the fact that it is better than everything I've seen for the PC!
When I show people how it works and how automatically it sets up your rotation, how easily it is to find songs without using a spreadsheet program, and how simple it is to import new music into the library they are stunned!
You have to use three different programs [on a PC] to do the same thing kJams does.
I don't think the developers of the other [karaoke] software are real world users [like you are].

Brian Marshall

Awesome!

I'll have you know I'm just a recreational karaoke singer who likes the hosts where he sings, but they never have the stuff I want to sing.

Somebody turned me onto [computer karaoke], and your software is INCREDIBLE. I can't believe how good it is.

I would/have NEVER paid so much for shareware that I use for pleasure, but I think you more than earned it. GREAT stuff!
