I'd love to know the results. When we did this test in the past we found the Power files had lots of damage that continually degraded up to the last lyric panel.

Chartbuster uss WARPED disc media; so cheap we have never found their source.
As the disc rotates, it gets closer and further away from the reading optics, defocusing the reading light beam. We spent 3 years and close to $100,000 pefecting our error correction.
Thus, my question is if you import an MP3G using "Power", and then import the same song with Hoster as a KMA file, then play both back under Hoster (removes any variance between players), if you pause play in the last lyric panel, does the KMA file have a LOT less graphic clutter (uncorrected errors) than the Power MP3. That's the answer I'm looking for.
While the last lyric screen is paused, you can press the Alt key and the "PrtScn" button (Print Screen) and it will capture to the clipboard the "window" the mouse arrow is currently in. If this is the Hoster Show Display, this is what we need to see. Once you have the image from the Show Display, open Windows Paint program, click the Edit menu, and the Paste command and your image will appear in Paint. Click the File menu Save command and your image will save as a .bmp file.
Do this for the MP3G song and again the KMA song, and post both images as attachments. Then we all can see the difference. IF... "Power" has improved their import error correction equal to ours, their won't be much difference. However, I doubt if any competitor has equalled our error correction. Just my two cents.

All my sound choice and DKK's and things seem to be fine. The chartbuster, however...do look strange from the first moment you pull it up. Im not sure why but the chartbusters seem to have something in them that keeps them from copying well. As a matter of fact...chartbusters used to look strange on even my regular vocopro players when I would play them. The vocopro I used to have actually cues the songs directly up to the music and bypasses that 7 second delay of silence at the beginning. Something about starting a charbuster CDG from anywhere but the beginning causes the track to degrade. It's like you will get words the end up showing up on the screen and will just STAY there the entire song making it difficult for the singers to read the words. All the other discs...like sound choice will do that when it first comes up...but as soon as the screen switches to the next set of lyrics...it goes away. The charterbusters won't go away on the next set of lyrics. So, when I pull up the chartbusters in the mp3g zip files...they look all blocky...kind of like old atari graphics or something. But, I will say I was at a guys karaoke show just a couple of weeks ago that uses the hoster and HIS chartbusters were doing that too. So, apparently it's something about the way they copy since it does it on the hoster or the power CDG.

The warped discs from Chartbuster - look at them from the edge and you can see the warp - won't play well on Karaoke Players, or import without significant error correction. It is my current belief that Hoster and Microstudio have the best error correction on the market. It shows up best on Chartbuster discs.
Also, Chartbuster CDG songs don't have "clear screen" commands embeded with the lyrics that erases all past graphic errors from then on.
