more tracks on cd's than the database

[Garry A. Leslie]

Hey All,
I've played this disc on the computer with Microstudio and Hoster, there isn't any track 16 on either.
Played on 2 Karaoke machines, no track 16., so it doesn't look as if it's there.
As I said before I thought SGB were in liquidation, so whoever bought them or whoever is releasing these discs, isn't sticking to the listings.
I mentioned once before, in another forum ,that in England you can obtain whole catalogues free, but there are serious problems with these, because they are pirated.
I have a huge number of original discs, but can anyone ever say they truly know that the discs they own are genuine?
We all buy from well known sources, but if you read the host of threads,there are so many dubious sites out there.
Regards from across the pond.

Hey Billyo,
The disc I was talking about was SGB10, had it about the same time as you, from Doowop.
Just checked SGB29. It has 17 tracks.
No 16 is listed as "Let's Make Love" No 17 is "Unlisted" , in the Hoster database, but is, in fact, another copy of "Let's Make Love".
The CD label only lists 16 numbers.
If they did go bust, no one needs to wonder why

well i guessed all our sgb's are copies ( wonder who's got the original copies )..i think the reason why our cdg's ( sgb's ) has diff. songs on them was not to violate the copy righted laws..they have to add songs here and there..oh well..

Hey billyo,
Can't see any reason why they would bother about copyright, they seem to have been a "fly by night" organization.
I have a small set of Music Maestro discs "Hollywood to Broadway" which won't play on any karaoke, DVD or CD player, which I had to duplicate on the computer.
The copies play fine on any machine.
The originals were all bought from a reputable firm, so I believe there is a lot of illegal stuff going on and even the reputable firms are either being taken in or in cahoots.
This again raises the question "What the hell is legal in the karaoke world, and how do you check"?
