I just got an e-mail from CAVS tech support finally answering my e-mail. They asked me what version my jukebox was on the CAVS. They said the Plextor 716UF was only compatible with version 1.0.4.24.......my version says 1.0.4.14...maybe they can fix my problem...but i still intend to try the Microstudio software from mtu...why not...i'm really getting into this thing

I know what some of you are thinking after that post...you're thinking.."getting into it?"....i'm in it up to eyeballs now!

Humor... in spite of things... is always heathy.

We expect to start Beta testing Microstudio 3.000 next week. It can read all the tracks on a Multisession CDG disc, which I believe your SC discs are. It will be a free upgrade to all who purchase with the last 30 days before release, expected by the end of April.

Ok i been reading through here and Admin mention that host might be able to import cavs disk. Does that mean the super CDG with 100's of songs will be available?

Here's an update on my situation. I finally got an update into my CAVS 199 that allowed it to become compatible with the Plextor 716UF. I can now capture cd&gs (including the dreaded Sound Choice variety) and am obviously happy at the moment. I am still curious about the Hoster though. I still want to make disk copy backups of my cd&gs for protection purposes. As stated previously, i've got a huge investment in my stash!

You would need Microstudio to make disc backups of your cgd's. Hoster will not do this.

I feel MicroStudio can still help you. It is the only program I know of that can rip multisession CDs regardless of the CD drive version. You could:
Use MicroStudio to rip the CDs
Import the BIN files into your CAVS (if that is possible)
(if not) burn the BINs back out to a single session CDG
Then import that CDG into your CAVs

I know its more trouble but it is a way...

Good luck..

PS Even Microstudio has a problem ripping multisession CDs, but the problem can be overcome.

Good answer BooBoo!

FYI: Microstudio 3.0 is underway and is expected to be able to directly import all tracks from even Multi-session CDG discs.

Don't have a release date, but we hope it will be in May... depends on how much testing the code will require to get it "MTU Quality".

Thanks.
Glad to hear about Microstudio 3.0. I'll be one of the first to upgrade. I had a new CD I ripped the other day that was not a multisession, but it had something in it that caused the last two tracks to rip at a very slow rate. Have you tested those? (I can't rememer the make and I am not at home to check at the moment). I know this isn't the best place to post this question but things just flowed in this direction.

Hi Boo
I just finished importing using hoster and Microstudio to overcome the multisession disks. Some of mine went at a very slow rate I use a Plextor 716 UF external to perform this tasks. I have some of my disks that are fairly old like Karaoke Party Pack #1 by nutech and It felt like it took forever. I just wander if They are recorded at a slower speed like 1x and if that had any bearing on the problem. I guess the important thing is that I was able to import them or make importable disks from the Multisession. Only problem I had was getting about an extra minute to minute and half of the closing screen, guess thats better than having the song cut off before the end. I am still working the bugs out running more than one singer monitor so audience can see. but I am confident that that problem can be overcome.
Have a great day
John
