I know Mediacloq is different than just multisession and won't usually be read by a computer. This was probably a reissue of this early disc when Sound Choice was using Mediacloq. I cant blame Hoster for this.I have about 10 Mediacloq's in my collection but didn't catch this one and none of them are entered into my computer with this the exception. However my disc #SC8459 mentions nothing about any Mediacloq and Hoster 3.300 will only read the first 11 of the 15 tracks available. I have already imported 14 out of the 15 songs on this disc on the previous version of Hoster. Track 15 doesn't even come up. Microstudio does reads all the tracks. As Hoster 3.300 has worked great capturing the last track on all my other multisession discs I am going to leave it alone until I get through with the rest of my collection. This problem may be isolated to a few discs and not the norm and will watch the forums to see if it is a larger problem.
Thanks

Did you follow Norm Reel's suggestion? In beta testing, he and others found the need to remove all prior Registry Keys for Hoster, and re-install. Then, weird problems such as you are experiencing disappeared.
I would like to add that while developing and testing our new MMC drive interface code, we have discovered there are some VERY BAD master tracks on CDG commercial discs. Chartbuster is by far the worst. Their error rate, which we can see with MMC testing, is apalling.

MMC is far less forgiving than our prior ASPI drive interfacing code. We are listening and documenting reported problems such as yours here, and we will continue to work on making our code better.
Audiograbber also uses MMC. When we tested our MMC against theirs using the same discs and DVDR drive, we discovered our Hoster 3.300 imported files had noticeably fewer random color changed dots in the characters and background. Our MMC code currently appears to be superior to theirs.
