Thanks. Only wish that was the case.

Kelly,

Nice "seeing" you again.

I know this is too simple, but it is new to the game, so I'll ask you anyway.

Did you try TOOLS, DEFAULT DRIVES, highlight the writing drive and click
HWERROR CORRECT, APPLY.

Didn't help me any, but may resolve yours...dunno, just brainstorming.

Take care,
George

Yes I did. To no avail. Now for an update. I neber could get it to copy the 19 songs. There was over 2 min left on the disc. This was never a problem in previous version. I finally got it to copy "18" songs. Strange. I sent the same "19" songs to my laptop which has the older version of MS and it copied fine. But would only do 18 with new version.

Now there is a few other "things." I noticed after you copy a disc. There seems to be no way to delete those songs from your file (computer) without getting completely out of MS and going to say Explorer for i.e. and deleteing them there.

Second, I noticed that when you insert a disc to play, it takes on the average 4 minutes to get the songs to move to the play side of the screen. I'm sure this isn't suppose to be this way either.

George, nice "seeing" you again too. Sounds like your gonna have to take another "chill pill.' Just teasing sir. Always appreciate yours and everyone else's help. Gonna call it quits for tonight. It will all work out. With MTU it always does.

This may be one of those little bugs missed in beta testing that Admin needs to take a look at. I don't think any of us tried to fill up a disc.

This was brought up during testing but decided to leave it that way. Maybe Admin can expand on the reasoning behind it. And you don't have to close MS to go to Windows Explorer to delete them....multi-tasking.

MS does not play directly from the CD. The files have to be imported as BIN files to play in the player which takes time since it involves reading from a CD and not a hard drive.

Thanks for the information.

Apparently, the new MS 3.0 is not designed to compile a disc containg more than 18 songs. Years ago when I began karaoke I used a Sony 400 to hold my cdgs. I used MS to compile songs so I could get as many on a disc a possible to conserve space while keeping my originals at home. Since then of course I have gone digital. But I still compile my discs before putting them into Hoster.

I also from time to time find a version of a song which I feel is better than the one I have. At that point I take the compiled disc; copy it back into MS; switch out the song I want; rewrite the compiled disc and then put it back into Hotser. Very few of my compiled discs contain less than 20 songs. I even have some discs with as many as 26 songs. These being "oldies" songs which are much shorter in length compared to todays music.

Until maybe MTU can find a way to correct this , I will revert to the older version. I must admit I also find the older version much faster in operation. I am sure there are major benneifts to the newer version. But until they meet my need I will use the older one.
Maybe this is something that MTU can address.

However I am still a very satisfied MTU customer.

Kelly,

Having difficulty believing there is a track limitation.

There is no mention of a track limitation in the manual, and the example shown under the HOW TO WRITE CUSTOM DISCS section shows the write screen with 21 tracks.

Certainly hope there's not such a low track limitation as 18, considering the number of discs out there that have 20 tracks; 10 demos and 10 Karaoke tracks. Would make it impossible to re-do a badly swept track in KHP and write a new disc.

Take care,

George

1. We'll check on this first thing Monday morning. It could be a bug lurking.

2. I'd love to know any functions where you find 3.0 slower. That will give us a target to shoot for.
