I have been at it for about 6 years and now have a collection of about 19,000, but it has taken a while to get that many. We have bought every single song file that we use on either CDG or SCDG disc and imported them into Hoster keeping the original discs protected in cases. To be "legal" as far as the production companies are concerned is to have the original disc for everything you have in Hoster.

Also note that these Pirates, Arrg! Are also probably operating multiple shows without having original sets of cdg's or scdg's for each show... also quite illegal!
There's a court case pending here in Arizona that will be a precedent on piracy and copyright infringement... stay tuned... but stay legal!
Custom cdg's are the route I'm taking in order to fulfill clients requests, as soon as they become available! ( Sound Choice, Chartbuster, etc. ). I've been at it about 15 years now and have a collection of 12000 song's, and hate to think how much I've spent... probably in the neighborhood of $20,000, amd thats conservative!
