gpayne,
Tricerasoft and buykaraoke.com may be using the same shopping cart program to sell their tracks but that doesn't mean they are associated. Coke and Pepsi both come in plastic bottles but they are not associated. The Coke you buy from one store is just like the Coke you buy from their competition. In this same manner it's possible that Tricerasoft and buykaraoke.com are getting their files from their suppliers in the same format.
You can buy
ANY track from Tricerasoft for $.99 if you use their Gift Pack system at the $100.00 level. I've been dealing with them for quite some time and their system of downloading the MP3+G zip files is a good one.
I have never bought an MP3+G zip file from Tricerasoft that I could not get to load into Hoster. I have to un-zip/re-zip and rename them but they work great. While working with the zip files to get them to load I did an experiment. I re-zipped an MP3+G zip file using the zero "0" compression setting on my zip program and the file would not load into Hoster. This tells me that an MP3+G Zip file has to be zipped with some compression to work in Hoster. I assumed that this is why the tracks I downloaded from Tricerasoft would not load into Hoster but admin has made it clear that they don't load because of Max compression, not Zero compression.

Their ZIP format files use MAX compression which lots of programs won't handle.

With the release of Songverter this is no longer an issue. Thanks MTU!
