With version 0.105, Callers Caddy now offers its first Japanese translation of the user interface. This marks the next small but important step: Callers Caddy is becoming more international. The translation capability was built in from the beginning. Callers Caddy was designed from the outset to allow for interface translation. The software launched… Read more
Many callers already have their lyrics and cue sheets stored somewhere on their computers. Sometimes as a text file. Sometimes as RTF. Sometimes as a nicely formatted Word document. And sometimes as a PDF. Until now, this wasn't always convenient. If a cue sheet was a Word file, you first had to open it, copy it, convert it, or move it to another format. Read more
Editing lyrics has often been more cumbersome than necessary. You had to open the file in another program, adjust the text, format it, save it, and then check if everything was still correctly linked in Callers Caddy. For a single song, this is just a minor inconvenience. But with a large music collection, it quickly becomes a real time-waster. If… Read more
Sometimes you want to listen to a song briefly before it's actually played through the sound system. Perhaps you're not sure if it's the right version. Maybe there are multiple recordings from different square dance labels. Or you want to decide together with another caller which song is a better fit. That's exactly what the Audition button is for… Read more
Previously, some settings in Callers Caddy required direct access to the callers_caddy.ini file. This was possible, but not particularly convenient.

And then this often happens… Read more
Sometimes you don't want to play a song through the main sound system. Maybe a fellow caller is sitting next to you at their computer. You want to quickly play them a song. Or you want to listen to a track yourself without the whole room hearing it. Until now, this was often cumbersome. You had to change the audio output in Windows. Or unplug and replug cables. Or hope that the right one was selected… Read more
Sometimes a standard genre filter isn't enough. Sure, you can filter by pattern, singing style, genre, or search in the Callers Caddy Planner. That's helpful in many situations. But what if you need a very specific selection? For example: You're planning a special night out at the club. You've already created a playlist with suitable songs… Read more
An empty playlist wastes time. You probably already know how many tips you need. You also know whether you want to use patterns, singings, or both. Even so, you still have to select each song individually and put it in the right order. That's exactly what Auto-Fill in Planner is for now. With one click, Callers Caddy fills your… Read more
