What's happened? Nobody is helping my problem.

It's not a program malfunction if you have cdg's that have one of the anti-copy programs on them. Gripe at the cdg manufacturer.

Sounds like yours may be the one called MULTISESSION, and there are volumes of discussions, including work arounds, on the forums some successful, some not. I believe that's what DJMADMAXX is referring to, not a program malfunction.

You could have easily started out with some that were not copy protected, and have now run into some that are. It should say something about it on the center hub of the cd if they are.

If not that, it could be a burner issue. If so, you should be getting an error message. If you are getting an error message we need to know exactly what it says.

If not that, then perhaps a system change, in which case if your O.S has restore capability, you may pick a restore point back when things were functioning.

I was wrong; in fact, MTU has a nice helpful system going on.


I'm a musician, so I understand that some artists and their companies are very sensitive when it comes to copy right issue.

Let's keep on enjoying music!

Glad we could help.

It is not illegal to make a back-up of your discs to protect your investment. There's a lot of controversy on that one, with the cdg manufacturers, of course, taking the opposite view.

What really gets you though is when you run across a cdg manufacturer who is really violating the laws.

I have a cdg disc that features Dinah Washington. There are 10 background and 10 vocal demo tracks. The arrangments are exactly the same as the originals(instrumentation and back up singers, and it IS Dinah Washington singing the demos. The Karaoke tracks have an occassional "ghost" fading in and out in intermittantly, and it is Dinah also. I have her LP's for comparison.

Conclusion: The cdg manufacturer took an original and did the best they could with vocal removal. Perhaps they figured she was dead, so what the heck, but there's still the songwriters and producers to consider. Thanks to Sonny Bono the material is still out of public domain anyway, so they were in violation.

And these people don't want us to make a back up.

Take care,

George
