It would be a mistake to assume that the disc I sent to you is the only disc that "has" this clipping problem. Admittedly most of the instances of this problem for me occur in the first Karaoke attempts by this brand "Multikaraoke"

However, I purchased a 16 cdg karaoke starter kit called "Supercore" and several of those songs clip as well.

I have always alluded to the run-off space at the end of the songs as a predictor on whether Microstudio would clip the music. I believe that Microstudio clips ALL songs. ALL SONGS. It just clips the MUSIC when the music is not followed by a lengthy logo display. As evidence of my bold statement, I have created 5 second khp files of nothing and spliced it to these files. When I have done this, Microstudio has had no problem playing all of the music.

I repeat. I did not create a khp version of the entire song. I used the original extracted file, spliced a 5 second file of nothing at the end, and Microstudio played the whole song without clipping the music. (Even though this 5 second file was created by KHP, I could not play it with microstudio player)

I don't believe that there is some code in these discs that is different, (like with Nikoddo). It is just a matter of the after music run-off at the end of the songs.

While stating the obvious, I am not a programming expert. But what if the logic of Microstudio player is something like this:

"Get the next 5 seconds (or so many megabytes) and get it ready to play

Play the 5 seconds that were processed.

If the rest of the file is 5 seconds or more, repeat
If not, quit"

Nobody would notice if they missed a few seconds of the company logo. Missing the music is another story

I would be happy to reproduce and send to you my extracted files with some empty time spliced at the end to prove to you that Microstudio has no problem playing these files if the run-off time is sufficient.

(I've used 5 seconds only as a ball park reference point)
