I dont see an over-abundance of kj's beating the door's down to buy them, or they wouldnt be still making cdg's.

Hoster was created as it is with the 99 track limit from the feedback of the thousands of hoster users. Maybe instead of being critical if you took a poll of the users who would like to change it to larger limit it could be done

Hi Gduns
Sounding critical was not my intention. I simply answered the questions that were posed.

I can see your point on the cdg opposed to scdg. I just look at it another way. Regular cdg's cost about .80 per track where scdg only cost about .02 per track and once you load them to hard drive and back them up, your done with them anyway.

Thanks
Kevin

Look at it this way... the royalties on a song in the USA varies from $0.11 to $0.27. Songs that cost you $0.02 or $0.20 apiece are ILLEGAL, and probably even $0.30 is ILLEGAL.

This has been the reason why MTU has refused to support SCDG discs in the past.

However, we are re-evaluating how we can provide a more efficient way to import these files that Hoster was not initially designed to import.

WHAT?
Are you telling me that these SCDG's are illegal!!!

Sweet Georgia Brown Magic Tracks Plus (About .08 cents per track)
Nutech Digital Karaoke Party Pak
Chartbuster Essential 450 Volumes 1, 2 & 3
Music Maestro Gold Pack Super
Top Hits Monthly, and this is just to mention a few.

I doubt that these companies are supplying bootleged tracks or trying to get away without paying royalties, I don't think so.

I think if you read his post with an open rather than a critical mind, you will understand the whole meaning behind what he said.
