I don't know, from other posts I've read, if you have Multi-Session discs (such as Sound Choice, which I do), Hoster will not import ALL these tracks on its own. So I'm understanding that MicroStudio is required to extract the tracks on these discs in order to import into Hoster.

Am I understanding this correctly? If so, maybe MTU should offer a bundle price on Hoster AND Microstudio together.

I have gone ahead and purchased MicroStudio and a MTU drive today.

I wish I'd seen your post sooner. Don't expect a Plextor drive to eliminate all of your problems. I have a Plextor (external drive) purchased from MTU, and I still get the "confetti" problem on occasion. SGB is one of the bad ones, and I see it frequently when I import a song from a singer's disk (which is frequently a copy rather than an original). I've gotten around some of the problems (especially with SGB and other cheap disks) by using Microstudio to burn the songs to a new CD (better media), and it frequently helps. Just some more info for you. Don't want you to get your hopes up TOO high that a Plextor drive will solve all your woes.
