[gduns - with the Lord]

Well, I am sorry to hear of all the costs, duties, taxes ect. However, am sure you wont be disappointed with your purchase.
I can only speak from my own experience. But I have used Brand "X" software that does support other than plextor drives. and made copies with it, only to find that a regular cdg player wouldn't read it on a regular basis. so I burned the same copy with microstudio with a plextor, and it will play in anything. the point here is. Plextor is the only really compatible cd r-w drive that will work.

BTW: I am not sure if this applies to you, but Hoster has just released the latest updated version, you might want to click your download link and update to it. It is head & Shoulders above the previous releases.
