Would really like to clean up all my chartbuster's someday, have over 200 cdg's of 'em.
Slowness of importing due to poor quality media, and snowflakes are two different problems.

Making a copy with quality MTU media will often solve the first problem, as indicated here. MTU has done extensive testing to insure our media is the best for CDG format discs. If you use "any old media", you may not get better results, and that has also been proven by users who tried both, ending up using MTU from then on.

In our testing for "snowflakes" on imported songs, we found each is a 2-byte or 3-byte error with Chartbuster. Our error detection/correction software is the best of all CDG import programs we tested, but it won't handle 2 and 3-byte errors. It finds and repairs 1-byte errors. Chartbuster is so bad that we believe they INTENTIONALLY insert these 2 and 3 byte errors. We have no other explanation how a "professionally" mastered CDG disc can end up with so many errors. Other Producers don't exhibit this.
