Jim, does this mean you have first hand knowledge of Pro-Burn? And who is MCPS? I tried to search for them but got no where.

Not necessarily your drive, but the program. Without trying to get into details, the problem is with the drive interface code within the program. Should be a fix out very soon for this. Read the News section on the main MTU website.

I am familiar with MTU's programs, including Hoster, Microstudio, and KHpro.
There is a way to get around the copy protection. There is no way for us not to put that protection on the CDG with our system however.

To bypass the copy protection - Use MTU's Microstudio program. Import the song from the CD to the hard drive. Import it in BIN or CDG format. Only select the songs you need. Do not select the last track. That is the Easy Karaoke track that is putting the copy protection on the CD. From there you will need to import to Hoster from the hard drive instead of the CD.

If you have any question, feel free to ask.

So now I have to go get acquanted with Microstudio. Do I have that on my Hoster CD ?

Ron
This is the same thing Jim was saying. It appears they use multi-session "protection" but if that was your problem you would be able to read the TOC and import all but the last song. In your case you can't even read the TOC.
No Microstudio isn't part of your Hoster CD. You would have to purchase it. The program isn't expensive, but if you can wait a week or so, the upgrade version of Hoster with the fix for the drives will be out and that won't cost you anything.
