Warning about Pocket Songs
This is from Pocket Songs:
Due to licensing restrictions, Pocket Songs now issues their discs IN CD format with NO ON-SCREEN LYRICS (NOT <!--VBCRLF-->CD+Graphics) According to an E-Bay seller, Pocket Songs told them this: Due to licensing issues, the manufacturer (Pocket Songs) of this disc advises us that this Disc is in CD Format - there are NO Graphics! This change is industry-wide, and karaoke fans can anticipate that most new discs will be issued without on screen graphics; and that most existing discs have been / will be re-issued without on screen graphics. I don't think I believe that it is industry wide as no one else has changed their formats.

My thought is Pocket Songs got in trouble over their own licensing and have decided to go this route. When Karaoke was young the lyrics were actually on paper instead of being graphically reproduced. Pocket Songs does provide the lyrics with the CDs on paper.

Pocket Songs are the most expensive karaoke disc I purchased for my collection, I only have a few. I figured they were charging more money to pay the royalties on the songs they produced as karaoke discs. I guess they were too busy lining their own pockets.

Exactly.
Funny thing is Pocket Songs started out on tape, then moved the catalog to cd. Then re-released their cd catalog as cdg. Now they are reverting back to cd only format? Don't matter, I never cared for the quality anyway. Seriously doubt it is 'industry wide'.

Are you sure you don't mean KHPro ?
If this were true I would think it would have been a rumor for several months before being implemented. Could you post a link? I hunted all over pocketsongs.com and could find no such notice. |

Hey, there could be a pony under all that "stuff".
This should be a boon for the Karaoke Home Producer type product, with the industry, selling "backing tracks" in large quantities. KJ's might not like it, but those using Hoster, and willing to create their own CDG's will have a big edge on those not willing to go the extra mile. Maybe the part timers and other non-professionals flooding the market will get out, resulting in the ability for the pros to charge higher fees. Thought I'd better clarify that. |

The information I was quoting was from EBay on several of the Pocket Songs auction listings. I don't remember which seller it was. All I did was search for Pocket Songs and clicked on some of the items.

I know there is scuttle on other forums that several Pocket Songs & Just Tracks discs are now containing some songs that list due to licensing, there will be no graphics or something to the effect.
