Sound Choice has chosen to add a copy protection that prevents even playing on a computer. There is nothing I can do about it. It has been reported to MTU from other disc manufacturers that the new Sound Choice discs do NOT play even on some Karaoke Players. Thus, don't expect us to try to correct their problems. The answer is simple don't buy SC discs. By boycotting their copy protection schemes, you are "economically voting" for them to stop this practice they noware "trying out" on you.
As you have read previously, Nikkodo discs have a varance from the standard timing. What you are overlooking is the complexity of writing a software program to emulate the hardware chips in Karaoke machies. We have crawled through the CDG spec several times, and will be doing it again. So far, we have not found what will make the Nikkodo discs play on our player.
With Hoster, we will try to support Nikkodo if we can identify the problem. There is a point of diminishing returns in any product development. If it costs us $10,000 to try to make Nikkodo discs work, we won't do it, or we will have an adder for you to pay to be able to play Nikkodo discs to cover our development costs.
I thank you for posting your concerns, and I assure you we are trying to make Nikkodo discs import and play properly. As to Sound Choice, they have made their statement very clear. They have no intention of allowing you to copy their discs or play them on a computer.
