As a matter of fact I would be glad to pay the giagantic fees to cover the licence of one song or a couple

I think with a little work the demo download could be still be free with a half dozen or so test files available for download or included in the demo download that were created by some of the members of the forum from their original material that they would let others download.

Getting the hoster demo is high on my priority list, but buying a CD+G album so I can see how it works isn't quite as exciting. But if I have to I probably will.

Other Demo Situations that would work equally well:

Go into the Music Store and the nice folks ask if you would like to play the new guitar you are lusting after. You agree and they hand it to you and ask what brand of strings you would like to purchase so you can hear what it sounds like.

The car dealer offers you a test ride in the new car you are considering purchasing for your family. You get in the car and then the service manager asks what type of tires you want to purchase to do the demo ride.

A resturant offers you a two for one lunch special at the local buffet. You go in past the register, get your meal and then they bring you a catalog of silverware that you can use to make your purchase from so you can eat.

I guess my ignorant point is for those of us who do not already have a library of CD+G disks, what good is a demo of Hoster. I understand that 99% of the people looking at purchasing the software are considering making the switch from CD+G players to Hoster. I got the point. But would it not be really slick if someone downloading the demo could actually play a song or two when they got it installed.

Just my thoughts,

Ron

If they would market single, downloadable .kma files I think huge crowds of people would download them because it would be easy, convenient and you would know they would work correctly. How much time and hassle would be involved in paying the required fees and licences for MTU I don't know. That might be a horrible hassle.
