Thanks Tom,

That's what I was thinking, which brings up another question.

Would cueing past the Mfgr's logo constitute unauthorized altering of copywritten material at a public performance? No doubt the Mfgr's would answer resounding YES to that one, but I wonder what the ruling really would be under the copywrite laws.

I would tend to think it would be illegal, but that's just an opinion based on how limited one's usage of copywritten material really is. You can make a backup and you can play it, seems to be about it.

MTU has already built in legal cueing, although some don't realize it. That's what the playlist does, cue up the next song in AUTO PLAY, and allow you to set the time between tracks, but I wonder about altering any portion of the track, beyond key change, which is not a material alteration.

Perhaps ADMIN can enlighten us on that one.

Take care,

George
