Bad Discs?

[Steve Bauer]

I just received 7 Sweet Georgia Brown Cds that I bought off Ebay from a reputable dealer. Several of them have a few songs that won't import. I am using XP with a proven Plextor drive. The "importing" sign locks up maybe after importing some songs off the disk and I have to cntrl-alt-del to exit Hoster. I have rebooted and tried to import the next song in order with no luck. These discs have no visual marks on them. A couplel of them have completely imported with no problems at all. I wanted to check with the forum before I contact the seller to see if anyone has a setting fix for this problem. Thanks for any help.

Steve,
Clean the disks with a disk cleaner?
Try setting in Tools/CD\DVD drives to change the read quality down one setting and see if it will go through.
If that won't work see if they will import with Microstudio and then add the tracks from the hard drive.
If that doesn't help contact the dealer and hope he has a replacement, because those are out of production. Sweet Georgia Brown is no longer in business.

If you are using 4.x try importing using 3.4 that comes with it.
Also see what happens when you try adding the song to the playlist via the Disc tab in 4.x or CDG tab in 3.x.

As Dale noted, Microstudio might be your best bet if you have it.
Every once in a while I come across weird tracks like that.

Perhaps you could post the discids and track#'s, maybe others with those same disks could report success or failures with them.

SGB0017, tracks 6,10,11,12,14

SGB0024, tracks 6-12

SGB0019 tracks 7 & 8

Incidently, I cleaned the disc and lowered import quality in tools......neither worked. I have received an email from the vendor and he has invited me to send them back. Says he has sold over 5000 of them since Sep and has had no problems. Must be my luck!!

As they say Steve....&*%$ happens.

Bob,

I'm using Hoster 4.6 and my Plextor drive is PX-750-UF. I have uploaded several thousand songs to Hoster using this drive without a problem. Oh yes, I'm also using XP.
