Clone CD supports my player - Microstudio doesn't!

[Gerry Waugh]

Hello

Like many karaoke hosts, I have some regular karaoke singers who have some favourite songs. I decided it would be handy to have a compilation of these frequently used songs for easy access. To this end, I downloaded two pieces of karaoke demo software - CloneCD and MicroStudio. The Clone CD demo made a perfect copy of one whole CD, which was great, but not really what I wanted, but Microstudio insists that my drive (NEC 7700) does not support karaoke, which is plainly inaccurate as it had managed to make a perfectly good copy using CloneCD. Not only that, but when I look at the list of karaoke supported drives on the website, which appears not to have been updated in a year or two, I see NEC 7500 - since logically the 7700 would appear to be a newer version of the 7500, it strikes me that it is the list of drives that is out of date. My drive has been proven to be capable of reading and writing CD-G, but the Microstudio demo does not recognise it. Naturally, this puts me off buying the full version or any other MTU product. I have no desire to change a perfectly working CD writer that has successfully written CDG to another drive just because it is on an out of date list. Is a newer version of the software/list of supported drives available?
