I use MusicMatch to play music tracks (mp3s) between singer rotations. I noticed that while a song was playing in MusicMatch and I was adding a karaoke song to the hoster playlist from a singers disk that the audio would drop out while Hoster was writing the .kma file. I tried this with a brand new disk of my own with the same results. I tried using windows media player with the same result. I also have BPM software and there are no audio dropouts while hoster is reading the singers disk and writing the .kma file. The only thing I can think of that might be different is that BPM uses direct sound drivers. I can't tell what Windows Media Player or MusicMatch use. I use the internal sound card for Hoster and an external Extigy USB sound card for the audio files. I have no problems when adding a song from a singers disk while hoster is playing a karaoke song. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? I have never tried it before now so I don't know if it was a problem in earlier versions or not.
