Thanks for all the research and comments. This particular track wasn't a little flat. To a guitarist it was about half a fret (half a semitone) flat. It was a LOT flat. It was that way on the CD and on hoster. Hoster didn't have anything to do with this. I could by ear tune the guitar to the track and it would be in tune with it both on hoster and on the CD Player. This baby came off the press 25% of a key flat. I wrote to the manufacturer and got lots of fast nice responses, but no information about how and why. I could care less about this one track; but, I don't want to keep buying CD+G's and finding odd ball tunings on all of them. I highly suspect that the better CD+G's would not have this problem, but I don' know.

Ron I haven't had any complaints about songs being off key and my wife and sis-in-law are both trained singers and guitarist. They would certainly tell me. As for the rest of them I would say at least 50% are usually off key anyway and wouldn't notice considering their alchohol intake. :g :w

You would probably be one in a thousand who would notice since you play guitar along with the music.

I agree. It would be the exceptional singer that would even notice as a singer. It would probably take someone with perfect pitch. Most of the KJ's customers wouldn't normally have a clue.
