Lightbulb

A light just went on in my head!! Back around Halloween I had gotten a special Halloween CDG with a lot of sound effects and songs for the occasion. Anyway it had something like 32 tracks and when I put it in Hoster I only saw the first 8 or 9 tracks, because they had set up the rest of the disc as an audio disc.
About that time we were testing the last upgrade for Microstudio and with that upgraded version I could see all the tracks. So I imported them into Microstudio which copies as a BIN file, then imported them into Hoster. Since Hoster is lagging behind Microstudio in this area, that may be the current solution.

Microstudio has been updated with new code for reading disc and Hoster hasn't yet?

The CD reader I have is the MTU USB certified reader. What brand is this? I would be happy to mail the CD to one of you, just PM me. Would buying Microstudio be the solution?

With Microstudio you could import them as bin files and then import those into Hoster.

Kenny, please send MTU your FIRST CB disc so we can diagnose what is going on. Address:

MTU
8390 Six Forks Road
Suite 101
Raleigh, NC 27615

We'll return it within a week. We need to see what is happening at an engineering level to discern this. Since Bob says he can import it with other drives than his NEC, and you (or someone) said the disc dye color is green, it makes us wonder if the NEC laser isn't detuned for other than green dye?

When you send it, please include this Thread ID on a slip of paper so we know what to look for:

The exact same code is now in Microstudio and Hoster. The reading code is Identical, as far as I am aware.

Our drives are the Sony/Nec Optiarc drives, so this being said, I would not understand why they would not read a disc, but others would. I will try to see if there is an updated Firmware for these drives somewhere.
