thanks von

Get your brother a better machine? Sorry, I couldn't resist.:r

If they play fine on yours then I would suspect his player might be dirty (clean the drive). What about other CDs or the originals? Do they play on his machine cleanly or do they also show a lot of spots?

can someone help me?

Maybe your brother's machine is not reading CDG-Karaoke right using CD-R MUSIC format media. Try a plain CD-R disc.

I know this doesn't sound logical, not even to me, but if everything else is o.k., it must be something..... who knows :?

I have been told there are some (brands) karaoke machines that will not play a copy of a cgd. I don't remember the reason. Most karaoke machines will play microstudio disks.

I have made CDs to take to bars to sing, and have run into some cheap systems that won't read them. Usually the Sony ones are the worst from my experience.

That makes more sense than what I said.

Wonder if the machine is programmed not to read a CDG copy, or if the machine just won't play any copy. Have you tried making a copy of a regular audio cd and playing it on your brother's machine?

Hello All,
Most older machines, even expensive ones(better?), had to grow with the market and as CDR and CDRW discs became more available and cheaper,the features were altered to cater for the public.
Older DVD players and recorders also suffered from the industry lagging behind
and even now some expensive machines don't have all the facilities everyone would expect today.
I've seen very cheap DVD players (£18/$32) capable of playing every kind of disc thrown at them including CDG, with programming.
It's only the same as MTU's software not being written to include all CDG players around.
I recently bought a Plextor which does play CDG's but is still not compatible with MTU software, because it doesn't have the codes written for it.
So the beautiful black drive, which goes with my kit has egg all over it
Regards from across the pond.

The quality of the media you are using to make copies may also be causing the problem. Cheap discs, and I should say not necessarily "inexpensive" ones, are warped. If they are warped too much, they can cause varying degrees of problems in different drives. We have seen this in CDR/DVDR drives, and I can only expect the same in Karaoke Players.
