I don't think it has anything to do with recording media

My experience has been the following:

I used Microstudio to import the last track on the multisession CD's to the hard drive. Microstudio hangs and the program has to be aborted but the file does get created. When that file is imported into Hoster it works but the graphics are consistently poor quality. I tried an entire set of new Chartbuster CD's and got identical results. I changed the CD Rom drive and got the same results.
When I used Disc Juggler to create a custom CD of just the last track of all the Chartbuster CD's it created an image on the hard drive of just those tracks. I then used Disc Juggler to write that image to a CD. I then imported all the tracks into Hoster without a problem and the graphics were perfect.

It seems to me the Microstudio and Hoster are probably using very similar code to read in the CD+G tracks and the multisession discs are not being handled correctly yet. Microstudio sort of works but still has a problem or it wouldn't hang when reading the last track. I'm sure this will get corrected by MTU but in the meantime what I have described is a way I have found to successfully import the last track on multisession CD's with excellent results.

Maybe the graphics problem I experienced is because I have a slower CPU running Microstudio and Hoster (750MHZ), I don't know. I guess that if the workaround works for you, thats great, if not here is another potential way of getting around it until 3.2 comes out. At any rate I am thrilled with Hoster and the whole suite of MTU products. Keep up the good work MTU!!
