Can Hybrid CD+G Format Discs import into Hoster? - YES
 

I buy CD+g's from Karaoke Warehouse and one of the formats they talk aobut is a new Hybrid cd+g . Not for sure what that format really is but was wondering if you are aware of it and does Holster support that format. I am on the current release level of Holster. Here is the text from their web site: The Hybrid CD+G format means that these discs can be played in a personal computer (using Windows Media Player™) as well as your Karaoke player

If it will play on a Karaoke Player then you should be able to import them into Hoster as well. I don't know if MTU has heard of it but I hadn't until you brought it up. From what little information they give it looks like it may be an MP3+G (or MPG) format that can be used by Media Player and regular CD Players as well.

First thing that popped into my mind was these audio/video clips that download in .WAV format to play with WMP....Interesting

Maybe I will try to call them and see if they will give me any informations relating to the format type.

OK, here is the story giving. The Hybrid CD+G are as far as Holster is concerned nothing more then standard CD+G's and will import just fine as KMA files in Holster. The Hybrid difference is that they are including a Windows Media Data file to allow the disk to be played in your computer via Windows Media Player. So, no problem per the Vendor of the format. Good to know I guess.

Thanks to all that replied.

Thanks for digging up this info. It will help others who have the same question.

BTW: Its HOSTER, not HOLSTER. :w

Yea, never did spell well :g

Glad to help out with my own question. Suppose I should have check with them before I posted it but then agian as you mentioned maybe this will help others who have the same question.

Anyway, love the product. I am about to load the stuff on a second laptop as a backup system to the main laptop and I understood this is acceptable as long as they both are not used at the same time? Just got to scared to run a single laptop anymore as I also run the DJ work off the thing as well with all the MP3's loaded on the system. When I get a request to do DJ work with Karaoke I can do it all from the same system. Sweet it is but it is now a single point of failure that I feel I must be able to recovery from when at a show.

Yes, you can have a backup. We at MTU realize how important this is, which is why Hoster can install on 2 systems. Thanks for being honest with us also and not running two shows at the same time.

BTW: Have you tried playing your MP3 songs in Hoster? You can add them into the Playlist interspersed with Karaoke files. :c

If you have any requests for DJ'ing from Hoster, please post them in the Hoster New Features Forum. We are adding features all the time. :w
