Unable to play or import songs

Still have 3. One of them is going to H tho. The new one I just bought from MTU is real good and fast as well

I have done all the instructions as listed by MTU for a XP install. I have installed 4.22 and made the changes suggested by MTU. Starting around version 3.2, I was unable to rip a song from a cdg that was brought up to me during a show, I have gone over all the changes made both before 4.22 and since 4.22 Hoster install and still cannot import songs via cdrom. I have also attempted to clean the lens and disc is not recognized in the cdrom drive. HELP!!!!!

Currently running XP on a Dell AMD 2.2 processor, 3g of RAM, 500g HD, 350g of Free HD left, all of my MTU products are current versions 4.xx

Thanks,
Brett

What brand type of drive do you have?
How old is the drive?
Is this a laptop or desktop computer?

Sometime around version 3.3 or 3.2 MTU change from using an older language code for communicating with the drives to a more universal language. This means those drive that used the older format no longer worked.
Also as stated above in this thread many laptop drives just will not work with CDG at all. MTU's test for drives in Hoster and Microstudio only tests the drive controller to see if it will support CDG and does not test the drive mechanism to make sure it can. There is no way to do this. So even if those programs report that the drives are good does not garantee that they will.

Thanks to all of you. I have come to the conclusion that I will have to use the 8X burner for Hoster and Microstudio and the 24X dvd\cd-rw's for everything else. They work well with everything else. The 8X is just slower importing songs to your show list then the other. Really no need for further replies. Thanks again to all. Alan
