thanks for the info....I didn't know the stats that you gave me and it is interesting. BUT. The discs that I am using to import the songs are BRAND NEW. We bought another Chartbuster Essential 450 pack and they are being used for the first time. Here is the story. When we first got into this, we used all original disks (fear) then last year started making copies of our originals as we bought them and used the copies. When I made copies of the new discs I made 2..one to use and one to archive. I reallly wanted protection. We have over 800 cdg's so you know the investment. I bought the MTU laptop, and purchased an external 80 gib HD and am loading the songs into it. After I get all my songs loaded, I am going to get another external HD and load it. I will be well covered then, I HOPE. I got my laptop on Thurs. and had problems, but MTU came thru and now I'm loading, SLOWLY> it could only happen to me. Pat
