I wouldn't be surprised if their answer to making a recording to GIVE to a singer might not be right on, however.

WOW Thanks George I thought this was very interesting :

"
If I own my own discs, can I load them onto a hard drive to play them in a show, etc.?
No, you MAY NOT load songs from other manufacturers on your hard drive. The licensing rights for music on a hard drive machine exist only between the machine manufacturer and the music provider. These rights do not extend to the owner of the machine, to load songs from other manufacturers on the hard drive player. Copying the discs on to a hard drive is still copying the discs. Legally, it is absolutely no different than burning a copy of the discs. In order to copy your discs on to your hard drive, you have to have the written permission of the company that produced the discs and owns the copyrights."

Once again I am now lost lol or do not understand the purpose/use of hoster, or does the laptop from mtu come with loaded, licensed media? And what about adding new media? Now I am totally confused!!!!
